I am trying to figure out a way to create a button in excel
that performs a function. Anybody have any ideas?

To elaborate, I mean a kind of yes no toggle, or anything.
it could be a useless function.

Do you mean a buttun inside a worksheet cell? Or on one of
the toolbars? There's probably some way you can use VBA to
create a checkbox (button style) but whether you can get the
button in a cell, I have no idea. I use VB6 at work but
never bothered with VBA.

Just go to View>>Toolbars>>Control Toolbox

Yeah. Button in a cell. I have written a spreadsheet that
you tell what scale you want, and it randomly generates you
a string of 8 notes. In order to have it recalculate the
random notes, you need to make a change to the spreadsheet,
the least destructive option pressing delete on a random
empty cell. But I want to give it a better UI than that. It
kinda feels too ghetto.

Wow... I had that up there, but I never really paid
attention to it after I placed it in my toolbar (probly
because I fell asleep a few minutes later).

Thanks!

Yeah, that works. Add a button, position it, tweak
properties, edit the code behind. Simple. Didn't think it'd
be too tricky.
