Microsoft Excel lets you add two types of buttons to a worksheet: option buttons and toggle buttons. Option buttons, also referred to as radio buttons, let you choose one item from a list.

Popular form tools include radio buttons and check boxes but you may also add a scrollbar. In Excel the scrollbar control allows users to scroll through a list of pre-formatted values or text.

Microsoft Excel sorts slider buttons alphabetically and numerically. Fortunately, you can add a custom sort list to sort the buttons in a more meaningful way, when necessary.

Another way to quickly filter data in an Excel table is to add an Excel data slicer, a series of buttons representing different categories or values within your data.
