I have a spreadsheet where I update the status of different projects I'm working on. I just want a macro that will open a new task box in Outlook, and maybe add the value of a cell as the subject.

I don't want to assign to anybody and I will finish setting it up in Outlook. I just need something that will open the new task box

The Structure of the sheet is basically as follows:

ABCDE
1Job NameJob Complete (Y/N)DateNote (Subject of Task)Create Task?
2A1213N12/14/2016Double check if order has been processed(FORM Control Button)
3
4

<tbody>
</tbody>

So when I click the button in the form control (Column E) it will open the new task in OUTLOOK with the Value of Column D as the subject.


Does this make sense?

If you have any other ideas of a easier solution I'm all eyes.

Formula for Yesterday
Name Manager, New Name. Yesterday =TODAY()-1. OK. Then, use =YESTERDAY in any cell. Tomorrow could be =TODAY()+1.
