In this video I explain the 3 ways to create macro buttons in Excel worksheets. These are buttons that run macros when the button is pressed. Download the Excel file:

There are 3 ways to add macro buttons to a worksheet in Excel:
1. Shapes
2. Form Control buttons
3. ActiveX buttons

In the video I explain my favorite method, and the pros & cons of each.

I also explain how to prevent the buttons from moving and resizing when changes are made to the sheet. This can happen when you add/remove rows & columns, or adjust row height or column width.

Adding macro buttons to your spreadsheets can make it much easier for other users that are not familiar with Excel. Instead of having them complete a bunch of steps in a complex process, they can just click a button to run a macro. The macro runs your VBA code that automates the task(s).
