Which button must be clicked to run a macro via a created button?

To run a macro via a created button, the Assign Macro function is essential. When creating a button, you can link that button to a specific macro using the Assign Macro option. This feature allows you to specify which macro should be executed when the button is clicked, enabling automation of tasks within a program like Excel.

In a typical scenario, after you create a button using either form controls or ActiveX controls, you need to define its behavior. The Assign Macro dialog opens a list of available macros, allowing the user to choose which macro they want to associate with the button. This step is crucial because without assigning a macro, clicking the button would not initiate any action, rendering the button ineffective.

Other options, while related to macros, do not directly facilitate the assignment of a macro to a button. For example, the Select Macro option allows you to choose a macro from a list but does not directly tie it to the button's functionality. Similarly, Button (Form Control) refers to the type of control but does not execute the macro itself, while Run Macro typically describes an action taken from the macro menu, not specifically linked to the button context. Therefore, Assign Macro is the critical step in connecting the button to the intended macro for execution.
