Aspose.Cells allows you to assign a Macro Code to a Form Control like a Button. Please use the Shape.macroName property to assign a new Macro Code to a Form Control inside the workbook.
The following sample code creates a new workbook, assigns a Macro Code to a Form Button, and saves the output in the XLSM format. Once you open the output XLSM file in Microsoft Excel, you will see the following macro code.
Sub ShowMessage()
MsgBox "Welcome to Aspose!"
End Sub
