Retrieving name from command button on Worksheet
 

I'm using Excel 2000 under win2K and have several command buttons on a
worksheet and assigned the same macro to them.
In the macro I want to find out WHAT button has been clicked
(extracting a number I attached to a name to privide as parameter in a
function). I don't want to create a bunch of macro's just to identify
each command button separately.
How do I do that?

Retrieving name from command button on Worksheet
 

If you are using buttons from the Forms toolbar then
"Application.Caller" returns a string with the button name.
Extracting a single digit suffix from the button name
could work like this...

Sub CommonSubCalledByAllButtons()
Select Case Right$(Application.Caller, 1)
Case "1"
'do something
Case "2"
'don't do something
Case "3"
'do something else
Case "4"
'have lunch
End Select
End Sub
