I've written an if-then statement in Excel but can't get out of design mode. When I click on the button, well select it really, I just get the selection dots - I want to actually click the button and see if it works like I expect it to.
I've clicked on the Design Mode icon/toggle turning it on an off but it doesn't work to exit design mode.
PS: I don't know what version of Excel I'm using. It's the desktop version of my Office 365 subscription

I'm not sure I follow exactly what you're doing.
Here's a nice explanation of design mode and how to use it

It sounds like you have a macro and you want to add a control to a worksheet that causes the macro to run
Exact steps depend on if it's a Form control or ActiveX control

Thank you for your response. As I was trying get the right terminology (i.e. the "selection dots") to better explain my issue, I realized I had been working with a form control rather than an ActiveX which is what I intended. I'm still not sure why I couldn't toggle in and out of design mode, but now that I have an ActiveX control, I am able to exit design mode. Thanks again!
