When working with Excel, many users struggle with adjusting product prices, margins, and quantities dynamically. Instead of manually updating product quantities and margins, why not use Spin Buttons to adjust them dynamically?
I recently created a pricing model where both Quantity and Margin % are controlled using spinners. This allows instant updates to Total Price and Profit — perfect for:
✔️ Sales Dashboards
✔️ Pricing Models
✔️ Inventory Management

In this tutorial, we’ll build a dynamic product pricing table with Quantity and Margin % controlled by Spin Buttons.
| Product ID | Product Name | Base Price (₹) | Quantity | Margin % | Total Price (₹) | Profit (₹) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 101 | Rice | 60 | 5 | 10% | 330 | 30 |
| 102 | Wheat Flour | 45 | 3 | 12% | 151.2 | 16.2 |
| 103 | Sugar | 55 | 4 | 15% | 253 | 33 |
🔹 Step 2: Insert Spin Buttons
- Go to Developer Tab → Insert → Spin Button (Form Control).
- Draw the spin button next to the Quantity column.
- Right-click → Format Control.
- Set:
- Minimum = 0
- Maximum = 100
- Increment = 1
- Cell Link = Quantity cell
Repeat the same for Margin % column, but link it to the Margin cell.
👉 Tip: If Margin needs decimals (e.g., 10% → 11% → 12%), link spinner to a helper cell (integer) and divide by 100.
🔹 Step 3: Add Formulas
- Total Price:
=BasePrice * Quantity * (1 + Margin %) - Profit:
=TotalPrice - (BasePrice * Quantity)
🔹 Step 4: Live Demo
Now, use the spin buttons to adjust values.
- Increasing Quantity instantly updates Total Price.
- Changing Margin % adjusts both Total Price and Profit.
This makes your Excel sheet interactive and professional — great for sales teams, finance dashboards, or business presentations.
