I have 16 contol buttons that all launch the same sub. How can I make the code recognise which button was pressed?

Is there a way to rename (not the text) a button differently from what Excel assigns?

Any help is appriciated

Dr Schwartz,

I assume that you are either using worksheet control toolbox buttons or
userform buttons (as worksheet Forms button prompt for a macro to be
assigned). In both of these cases, if you double-click the object whilst in
design mode, you will be presented with a skeleton click event module, where
you can add your code.

To rename them, when selected, go into the Properties pane, and change the
name.

This file might be a help:

A short demo that reports which of three buttons was pressed
