Add To Comments With VBA

Jul 11, 2005

I know that you can add a comment to a cell using a statement like

Range("A1").AddComment "Hello"
But is it possible to add more text to that comment using VBA?
I tried things like

Range("A1").AddComment "Hello."
Range("A1").Comment = Range("A1").Comment + " How are you?"
but I guess I can't alter the comment that way.

Prevent Copy / Paste Cells With Comments Or Allow Paste But Do Not Paste Comments

Feb 4, 2014

How would you prevent the copy/paste of cells that have comments?

Also, how would you allow cells with comments to be copied and pasted without pasting the comments?

I also have an aside question about the forum advanced search. When searching for multiple search words, how would you type the search to include all words, for example, "prevent" & "paste" & "comments".

Add Comments In Userforms

Oct 30, 2009

I was wondering if there was a way to add comments (that you see in spreadsheets) on a userform in vb editor. So that when you run the form and the user moves the mouse over a textbox then it displays the comment.

Disable Comments

Mar 3, 2008

I am sure this can be done - I found a similar thread but in a different context to what I need.

I have a user of a workbook who insists on putting irritating red cornered comments in cells, rather than using the handy (and rather large) comments field I put in, especially for her.

Alternative To Comments

Jul 30, 2008

For each cell, instead using a comment, I need another way to show a large amount of principaly letter texts, without using hypervincules, and ofcourse comments.

By the way, the same text I enter or modify put in this "way", I need to modify in the MSWord document and viceversa.

I appreciate the linking do not open another app, because the large amount of them I need to work with.

Add Comments, No Spaces

Sep 22, 2006

I have a sub that works just fine, but I need to test it for blanks.

Sub AddToComment()
Dim rCell As Range
Dim cCom As Comment
Sheets("Support Detail").Select
With Range("e5")
.ClearComments
Set cCom = .AddComment
End With
Sheets("Sheet1").Select
For Each rCell In Range("a4:a23")
cCom.Text Text:=rCell.Text & " " & cCom.Text
Next rCell
End Sub

I only have 1 line of test in the a4:a23 range - so I'm getting 19 spaces before the text in the comment. If the cells within a4:a23 are blank, how do I ignore them? I'm not sure how to interpret this code, so I'm sure it's probably easy:

cCom.Text Text:=rCell.Text & " " & cCom.Text

Feb 22, 2008

I have an excel worksheet which has a lot of comments attached to individual cells. Is there a way to convert these comments into a microsft word document along with the contents of the cells to identify where they originated? Also Is it possible to convert just a selection of cells into word document rather than the whole worksheet.

Print Comments Indicators

Oct 1, 2008

the little red triangle in the corner of cells with comments in. Note: I know how to print the actual comments - however, the colleague I'm assisting only wants to show that there is a comment without actually showing said comment. I'm using Excel 2007.

Cannot Remove Comments In Worksheet

Nov 6, 2008

I have a workbook that I received from a vendor that when I click in a cell a comment appears. There is no line or comment indicator for each comment. So I went into the tools - options - views - comments section and chose no comments. The comments still appear and when I go to the tool bar - view - comments nothing appears. I checked for any VBA code and didn't see anything. I was able to get around this problem by copy/paste special into a new worksheet, but curiosity is killing this cat.

Printing Cell Comments

Jul 8, 2009

I have several worksheets that have comments in the cells. Most of the comments i have set to "un-hide" and they can be printed. I now have this one spreadsheet where no matter what I do I cannot print the comments.

I must have something turned on or off but for thwe life of me I cannot figure out what it is. I can see the comments on the screen but when I go to print preview they are not there.

Cell Comments Don't Appear When Hovering?

Jan 7, 2013

I have several comments being placed into a pivot table from a macro. However, all of a sudden, when I changed the source of the Pivot table, the comments now do not appear when hovering over the cell. They only appear way off to the right if I click "review," "Show/hide comment" or "show all comments."

Adding Comments And Formats

Feb 20, 2009

I have slight problem with an OnChange Event by Target.

I am looking to be able to change a cell value from one to another, create a comment block that says "person B for person A" , change the color and be done.

If the cell is empty then the code should exit the sub (not working). If the cell has already been change once then I want the comment box to show a second line of who changed what.

What I tried in the comment box, thinking it would keep the value:

Remove Lines From Comments

Apr 20, 2009

Here is a picture example of what I mean, just randomly found on google:

Maybe an insignificant thing I want, but can the line from the comment connecting to the red indicator be removed? Added an example since my comments show up below the selected cell with VBA code.

Drop Down List In Comments

May 7, 2009

I have code that adds comments to a field once the field has been changed. What happens is you right click the field, select a field that has been added to the right-click menu called FYI. After FYI is selected an InputBox() statement is used and a box appears for you to type comments. Then what you typed is added to the comments in the cell.

Is there a function like the InputBox that allows you to use a List Box instead. I have tried finding it but cannot locate what I think it is. This is probably simple but I can't think of anything. I guess I could create a user form that pops up but I thought this would be easier to just have a Dop list appear like the InputBox if there was a function already in Excel?

How To Create Comments In Excel

Dec 19, 2009

Currently we have an excel sheet in which it contains four sheets(sheet1,sheet2, sheet3 and sheet4). In this sheet1,sheet2,sheet3 and sheet4 there is some text data in the columns.

what we are looking is we want a comment box to appear when one moves the cell focus in a sheet (sheet3 or sheet4) to a cell in the field column. In the comment box it should display the data which is in the other sheets(sheet1,or sheet2). The items in the comment box should be data field column,fight type,Defect colour, and list in english column.

The comment should be temporary..i.e it appears when focus is on the particular cell in column field and disappers when focus is moved to another cell.

Make Comments Remain

May 16, 2009

Attached is a screen shot of a bit of a file I made to use daily. It needs to be used by many people and always starts out new each day. I'd like to make the comments on the right stay "full size" when the sheet is scrolled down (it needs to be able to scroll). The top 3 lines are "fixed" and don't scroll. I've tried comments ( currently ), pictures, imported pictures...everything I know to try. How can I make the comments box persist without "rolling up" when the remainder of the sheet is scrolled?

Adding Comments To Row / Column

Mar 8, 2012

I have the following code which deletes the specified value from each cell in column B that contains that value, (note it only deletes the value from that column and not all in the row).

Code:
Sub delete1()
Dim lr As Long, i As Long
With Sheets("Database")
lr = .Range("B" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
For i = lr To 2 Step -1
If .Range("B" & i).Value = 1 Then .Range("B" & i).ClearContents
Next i
End With
End Sub

Now what I need is to adapt it slightly so that it also adds a comment to the cell in Column I and the current date in Column L, (on each row where the deleted value was).

The comment would be something like "old data archived" and the date in any format, preferably dd/mm/yyyy.

Number Formatting Comments

Dec 19, 2006

Sub CommentThem()
Dim cell As Range
On Error Resume Next
Selection.ClearComments
On Error GoTo 0
For Each cell In Intersect(Selection, ActiveSheet.UsedRange)
If cell.Formula "" Then
cell.AddComment
cell.Comment.Visible = False
On Error Resume Next 'fails on invalid formula
cell.Comment.Text Text:=" Days: " & cell.Value & Chr(10)
On Error GoTo 0
End If
Next cell
End Sub

I am using this formula to extract the [h]:mm value from a cell and place it into the cell comments. The current result gives me a result of Days: 3.9339797008547 for a cell with the value of 94:24. Is there anyway to change this to only 2 decimal places (3.93) without changing the initial cell value.

Automatic Cell Comments

Dec 28, 2006

I have a worksheet with the following in Column E and F respectively:

ID Name
100 aaa
100 bbb
200 ccc
200 ddd
200 eee
300 fff
400 xxx
500 yyy
500 zzz
500 kkk
500 lll
500 mmm

When I input an ID number in Cell A1 and if it is found in the above table, it should bring all the names corresponding to that ID in a cell comment.

The ID Number is repeated in the above table because the names in Colum F are the dependants name for that particular ID.
