    Need Help creating a Macro with a Button

    Hello,

    I am VERY new to the concept of using Macro's and really have no idea how to write a code for what I would like to do. I am taking a course on them next month, but unfortunatly that is not soon enough to help me with this problem.

    I run an information desk at UBC and we are trying to move to an electronic statistical recording process. Currently our volunteers manually record the number of times they are asked a specific types of question. This work well, but means that at the end of the year I have to manually add up several hundred days work of data.

    What I would like them to be able to do is open an excel file which has a worksheet for each day of the month. On each worksheet there would be a chart that has the day broken down by hour in one column and by question type (IE directions, lost and found, first aid). There would be a button associated with each type of question for each time frame.

    I want the volunteers to simply be able to click on the button every time they are asked that type of question.

    I am hoping that there is a macro that will add up the number of times a button is pressed and input that data into a separate worksheet.

    Anyone have any tips on how I might do this?

    sounds straight forward enough,
    attach an example worksheet so that we have something to reference.

    Your post does not comply with Rule 1 of our Forum RULES. Your post title should accurately and concisely describe your problem, not your anticipated solution. Use terms appropriate to a Google search. Poor thread titles, like Please Help, Urgent, Need Help, Formula Problem, Code Problem, and Need Advice will be addressed according to the OP's experience in the forum: If you have less than 10 posts, expect (and respond to) a request to change your thread title. If you have 10 or more posts, expect your post to be locked, so you can start a new thread with an appropriate title.
    To change a Title on your post, click EDIT then Go Advanced and change your title, if 2 days have passed ask a moderator to do it for you.
    Hope that helps.
