Excel Facts

Last used cell?
Press Ctrl+End to move to what Excel thinks is the last used cell.
To customize the text of the buttons in a simple way, it is using a userform:

You can also have 3 buttons with a msgbox.

But I guess the most important thing you need is the code to execute the 3 options. Which of the 2 options do you want?

Do you know how to create a userform?
Do you need the code for each button or do you already have it?

and what do you want to save, a pdf, an excel or what? It would help if you are more specific.
Path, name, sheet, workbook.

1. Overwrite file button = Save the whole excel file with the same file name and path
2. Save as = Save the whole excel as new excel .xlsm with same path and let user maintain name
3. Cancel = Cancel operation

thanks

Create the userform with 3 buttons and put the following code:

Code:
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
  ThisWorkbook.Save
  MsgBox "Saved file"
End Sub


Private Sub CommandButton2_Click()
  Application.DisplayAlerts = False
  With Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogSaveAs)
    .Title = "Save As"
    .AllowMultiSelect = False
    .InitialFileName = ThisWorkbook.FullName
    .FilterIndex = 2
    If .Show Then
      ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs .SelectedItems(1)
      MsgBox "Saved file"
    End If
  End With
End Sub


Private Sub CommandButton3_Click()
  MsgBox "Cancel operation"
  Unload Me
End Sub
