Is there a way to retrieve the name of a button if based on the address of the cell its in?
 

Excel Facts

Links? Where??
If Excel says you have links but you can't find them, go to Formulas, Name Manager. Look for old links to dead workbooks & delete.
I assume you are asking a VBA question.

This function takes a Range of a cell (not an address, but the cell itself) and returns the name of the button. Below that is a demo of how to call it.
VBA Code:
Public Function ButtonInCell(Cell As Range) As String

   Dim S As Shape
   For Each S In Me.Shapes
      If S.TopLeftCell.Address = Cell.Address Then
         ButtonInCell = S.Name
         Exit Function
      End If
   Next S
'   Set S = Me.Shapes("CommandButton1")
'   Debug.Print Me.Shapes("CommandButton1").TopLeftCell.Address
   
End Function

Public Sub test()
   Debug.Print ButtonInCell(Range("G5"))
End Sub

Yes, I forgot to mention I was looking for a VBA solution. That was exactly what I needed, thanks!
