Button with macro is not functioning

Take this:

 

1. Macro Scope or Location

• Check where the macro is stored: If the macro is in a different workbook or module, the button may not be able to access it.
• Solution: Ensure the macro is in a standard module (e.g., Module1) and not in a worksheet or workbook module.

2. Macro Name Mismatch

• Check for typos: The macro name assigned to the button must exactly match the macro name in the code.
• Solution: Double-check the spelling and capitalization.

3. Missing Sub Declaration

• Check the macro format: It must be declared as a public subroutine.

Sub MyMacro()
    ' Your code here
End Sub

 

• Avoid using parameters: Macros linked to buttons should not require arguments.

4. Button Type

• Form Control vs ActiveX Control: Each behaves differently.
• Form Control: Assign macro via right-click → "Assign Macro".
• ActiveX Control: Use the VBA editor and write code in the button's Click event.

5. Security Settings

• Macro security may block execution.
• Solution: Go to File → Options → Trust Center → Trust Center Settings → Macro Settings and ensure macros are enabled.

6. Workbook Protection

• If the sheet or workbook is protected, it might block macro execution.
• Try unprotecting the sheet and testing again.
