INTERACTIVITY:

It is possible to disable the button:

Bind the Status property to a cell in the spreadsheet, and either add a value to the Value property or bind it to a cell containing a value in the spreadsheet. When the status property and the value property are equal, the button will be disabled. Leaving these two properties empty will ensure that the button is always enabled.
