...instead of the user having to press the "Control Key" and "F"?? I have a lot of data in a sheet that users will need to find a particular record to then update, I wondered if it's possible to add a simple button to find a particular row to then allow updating of the data???

Thanks for your help

When did Power Query debut in Excel?
Although it was an add-in in Excel 2010 & Excel 2013, Power Query became a part of Excel in 2016, in Data, Get & Transform Data.
Good morning SimonPerry

Why do you mean by a button? You could place the ready made icon onto a toolbar. Go to Tools > Customize and under the Commands tab (Categories) go to Edit and find in the Commands list Find. Drag it onto an exisitng toolbar.

You can customise your toolbar and add a button to launch the 'Find' box. The steps are:
Tools|Customise...|Commands|Categories: Edit|Commands: scroll down to find the 'Find' command|drag the 'Find' command up to your tollbar and release|Close the 'Customise dialog

Thanks for both of your suggestion however I want the button to appear on the sheet itself rather than the toolbar...

I'm going to try the other suggestion of assigning that VB to my button, is that easy to do???
