I need an easy way to tally the results from a survey.

The first step is to add a macro to bump the value in a cell every time the macro is called:

Sub tally()

Range("A1").Value = Range("A1").Value + 1

End Sub

The next step is to run a macro to make the button:

Sub button_maker()

Dim r As Range

Set r = Selection

    ActiveSheet.Buttons.Add(94.5, 75.75, 51, 27.75).Select

    Selection.OnAction = "tally"

    ActiveSheet.Shapes(1).Select

    Selection.Characters.Text = "Bump"

r.Select

End Sub

Each time the button is clicked, the value in A1 will increment.  Change A1 to suit your needs.

Macros are very easy to install and use:

1. ALT-F11  brings up the VBE window
2. ALT-I

    ALT-M opens a fresh module

3. paste the stuff in and close the VBE window

If you save the workbook, the macro will be saved with it.

To remove the macro:

   1. bring up the VBE window as above

   2. clear the code out

   3. close the VBE window

To use the macro from Excel:

   1. ALT-F8

   2. Select the macro

   3. Touch RUN
