In the Developer Tab of the ribbon, simply click on Button (in Windows, click on Insert, and then under Form Controls, click on Button) Then click on the Worksheet to add the button. Excel will then ask you to assign it to a macro. Use the WriteHello macro that we put in our VBE. The button will then be in Edit mode. To edit a macro that is attached to a Microsoft Excel workbook, you use the Visual Basic Editor. Important: Before you can work with macros, you have to enable the Developer tab.

Excel 2011 doesn't support ActiveX Controls. It only supports Form Controls. And to access the code area you may follow any of the following steps

1. Right Click on the form button, then on Assign Macro. In the next dialog box, Click on New

2. Press fn+ALT+F11 to access the VBA Editor. Create a sub in a module and then link it to the form button using Assign Macro as mentioned above

3. Click on the Excel Menu next to the Apple Icon, and then click on Preferences. Click on Ribbon in Sharing and Privacy and then select the Developer checkbox.

ScreenShot:

You need to first make sure you have the developer tools added to the ribbon: Select File, Options, then select Customize Ribbon and make sure the 'Developer' tab is selected. Click Ok.Then you can go to the Developer ribbon tab and select 'Design Mode' This will let you edit things and will change the button behaviour so that double clicking will open associated code.
