Editing How to Add a Button to a Macro (section)



To add a button to a macro, you can follow these steps:

1. Open the Visual Basic Editor (VBE) by pressing Alt + F11 in Excel.
2. In the VBE, locate the workbook or module where the macro is saved.
3. If you want to create a new module for the macro, right-click on the workbook name in the Project Explorer and select Insert > Module.
4. In the module, create a new subroutine for the macro if one doesn't exist already. For example, you could create a simple subroutine that displays a message box:

```
Sub MyMacro()
    MsgBox "Hello, world!"
End Sub
```

5. Once your macro code is ready, switch back to Excel and go to the Developer tab (if it is not visible, enable it in Excel Options).
6. Click on the Insert button and choose the button control you want to use (e.g. Form Control Button or ActiveX Control Command Button).
7. Draw the button on the worksheet where you want it to appear.
8. Right-click the button and choose Assign Macro from the context menu.
9. In the Assign Macro dialog box, select the macro you want to assign to the button and click OK.
10. Save the workbook and test your button by clicking on it.

That's it! You have successfully added a button to your macro.
