Macro Issue After Mac Excel 16.85 Update

Hello friends,

The macros that used to work in Mac Excel 16.84 no longer function after the 16.85 Excel update on 05/18/2024. When I click the buttons, the Visual Basic editor opens and gives an "invalid procedure call or argument" error. Even when I right-click the button and select "assign macro," the macro assignment form that opens does not display the macros. The newly created macros do not appear and do not work either. 

How can we solve this issue?

Thank you,
