Hello,

I have created a custom button in the ribbon. I would like to have an Update Macro assigned to it, but having trouble with the coding. This is for my client I'm just trying to automate he's experience. Essentially I want him to be able to click a button daily that opens file and he is able to import another file to append to the master file I'm building him with no additional headers. So I did Get data and was able to append through there; however I don't want him to have to go through all that. As well as I'm not sure where the files will be stored so I really just want him to have the option to select file then it auto appends. Then after have a secondary button that hides all unnecessary rows, and a third to reset the rows for the next import.
 

Excel Facts

Repeat Last Command
Pressing F4 adds dollar signs when editing a formula. When not editing, F4 repeats last command.
Long story short, all elements have so called called callbacks. They must have strictly defined signature. For the button it will be:
VBA Code:
Sub OnButtonClick(ctrl As IRibbonControl)
  '// do your thing
End Sub
Your XML must look like this to connect your button and procedure:
XML:
<button id="rxID" onAction="OnButtonClick" size="large" imageMso="ShowNotesPage"/>
I would suggest to use specialized software for automatically generating required stuff. I would suggest RibbonXMLEditor. This is cool program I use till today. As for callbacks, this page shows all callbacks for all elements.
