I have the same issue. I have created a simple macro to run from a click on a box on the start-up page of my excel sheet. i can get it to run using a mouse, but it will not run when using the touch screen. The touch screen is functioning normally in all other respects. I am using an HP Probook 450 G10. I have built multiple macro enabled buttons in the past 15 years with previous versions of Excel and used them on a variety of machines (tough books, surface, surface pro). I have never had this issue previously. Any help would be great. rangelsammon
- DavidFVSSep 18, 2023Copper Contributorrangelsammon - I have just found a work around. I tried opening an older sheet with modules I know work well and found that the top left hand side of the sheet was not allowing touch screen activation of the buttons, but the rest of the screen was. By not maximizing the Excel window and dragging the left hand side of the window across to the right I could activate the button by touch screen. Also, by repositioning my button from the left side of the sheet further right, i can also access the macro via touch screen activation of the button. Not particularly tidy and I can see this could be a pain for some applications, however it is a work around for now.

That's been driving me nuts forever! Thanks for the tips. I moved the one unresponsive button about 3 inches to the right and all works well. MS has a weird bug on this one!
