Is There a way to create a momentary push button in Excel 2010 that would set a bit in rs logix only when pressed ?
Appreciate any feedback on this...thanks
 
Yes, but a momentary button presents the problem of time - the time it takes to get the "1" from Excel into the PLC. It might be easier to use a maintained button that stays on for many seconds.

Which version of RSLogix and what PLC model are you using?
 
I can create a pb that would write a value to a plc tag from a cell which means you have to enter a 1 in the cell and click the pb. I wonder if you can write a constant value in the macro using DDEPoke.
