Excel active X button s

 

I want to have multiple active X buttons in groups as way of entering data.  I will have one pressed in each group.  Possibly more but lets say 3 to start.

 

Lets say its employees, I press employee steve

second group is department, I press HR

I press a button in 3rd group, its shifts, I press dayshift.

After I press 3rd group, an entry goes into a data sheet that increments (steve - HR - dayshift) + 1.

 

Is that better suited on a form of some sort?

    Personally, I would strongly prefer to use Data Validation (using the "List" type) drop-downs directly in cells. Design-wise this is also a lot easier to manage.
