To add task buttons in Excel, you can use shapes or form controls. Below are steps to add both types of buttons:

Using Shapes:

1. Go to the "Insert" tab on the Excel ribbon.
2. Click on "Shapes" in the Illustrations group.
3. Select the shape you want to use as your task button (e.g., rectangle, rounded rectangle, etc.).
4. Click and drag on the worksheet to draw the shape.
5. Right-click on the shape and select "Edit Text" to add text to the button, such as the name of the task.
6. You can also format the shape and text using the options in the "Format" tab that appears when the shape is selected.
7. To assign an action to the button (e.g., running a macro or navigating to a different sheet), right-click on the shape, select "Assign Macro" (if using a macro), or "Hyperlink" (if linking to another sheet), and follow the prompts.

Using Form Controls:

1. Go to the "Developer" tab on the Excel ribbon. If you do not see the Developer tab, you may need to enable it in Excel options.
2. Click on "Insert" in the Controls group.
3. Choose the form control you want to use as your task button (e.g., Button, Checkbox, etc.).
4. Click and drag on the worksheet to draw the control.
5. Right-click on the control and select "Edit Text" to add text to the button, if applicable.
6. Right-click on the control and select "Assign Macro" (if using a macro) or "Hyperlink" (if linking to another sheet), and follow the prompts to assign the desired action to the button.

Once you have added your task buttons, you can customize them further as needed and arrange them on your spreadsheet to create your task management system. The text was revised with the AI.
