I've come up with what I think is getting me close.

VBA Code:
Dim i As Long, rng As Range

    Set rng = Range("E3")
    
    For i = 1 To 12

ActiveSheet.Buttons.Add(Range("E3").Left, Range("E3").Top, Range("E3").Width, Range("E3").Height).Select
Selection.OnAction = "Hide"
Selection.Characters.Text = "Hide"

    Next i

If I was trying to add text I know to use rng.offset, but I don't know how to incorporate rng.offset in the code above. Am I close?

In the end, I want a button in each cell E3:P3
 

Excel Facts

Convert text numbers to real numbers
Select a column containing text numbers. Press Alt+D E F to quickly convert text to numbers. Faster than "Convert to Number"
Tried this as well
VBA Code:
ActiveSheet.Buttons.Add(Range.Offset(0, i - 1)).Left,(Range.Offset(0, i - 1)).Top,(Range.Offset(0, i - 1)).Width,(Range.Offset(0, i - 1)).Height.Select
and
VBA Code:
ActiveSheet.Buttons.Add(Range(rng.Offset(0, i - 1)).Left, Range(rng.Offset(0, i - 1)).Top, Range(rng.Offset(0, i - 1)).Width, Range(rng.Offset(0, i - 1)).Height).Select

Solution
VBA Code:
Sub test()
'
    Dim i As Long
'
    For i = 1 To 12
        ActiveSheet.Buttons.Add(Range("E3").Offset(0, i - 1).Left, Range("E3").Offset(0, i - 1).Top, Range("E3").Offset(0, i - 1).Width, Range("E3").Offset(0, i - 1).Height).Select
        Selection.OnAction = "Hide"
        Selection.Characters.Text = "Hide"
    Next i
End Sub
Thanks for responding, I see that is another option. It always surprises me how many ways there is to accomplish the same thing.
