Alt L B on Mac: Button in Excel
To run Button with Alt L B in Excel on a Mac, install LightningXL, tap Option, then type L, B. The same keys as Windows, with the same result.
Step by step
Install LightningXL
Download LightningXL, then follow the instructions. Setup takes about two minutes.
Select what to act on
Click a cell, or select the range the command should apply to.
Tap Option, then type L B
Tap ⌥ on its own to show the keytips, then L for Developer, B for Button.
What Alt L B does
Button sits on the Developer tab of the Excel ribbon. On Windows, Alt L B runs it from the keyboard. Excel for Mac has the same ribbon but no Alt key, so without LightningXL you click through Developer › Button instead.
