1. Could somebody please tell me how to create a push button within a
worksheet.
2. a macro that I can amend which when the buttonj is pressed will clear
various
cell ranges with in the worksheet.

I know it's a lot to ask but all help would be greatfully accepted.
Thanks in anticipation

Hello,

In Excel go to View - Toolbars and select Control Toolbox. On the new set of
controls lies the command button tool. Click this (it's the square) and click
anywhere on your sheet.

Double click this button, and it will open the code area.

Beneath the line that says

Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()

Copy and paste the following

Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A1:A2").ClearContents

Replace Sheet1 with the name of your sheet, and put your own Range where it
says "A1:A2".

You can have multiple lines in this macro incase you want to delete around
something.

Hope this helped somewhat.

P.S Once you're on your sheet, make sure you click out of DESIGN Mode, the
button is blueish on the toolbar, this will make it possible to click the
button.

Hi Nate,

Thanks for the respone. I am new to Excel 2007.
If I go to View I cannot see the Control Toolbox anywhere. Any ideas on
where in 2007 I can find it?

Kind regards
Finance Guru.
