Autosize A Comment

my macro processes a lot of data and puts a comment in certain cells (several thousand of them). I would like to autosize the comments so that the text can all be read by default.
I found the following on the web:
I have the code below, and it works perfectly on my Mac. But... on my PC it does not.
The cell comment does not resize horizontally when I enter text. So if I enter a long comment I get a comment box that extends far to the right to fit the contents in. Vertically it is fine, nothing cut off and no extra space.
Any ideas why this would be? Any ideas how I can force the text to wrap in the cell comment box?
Code is below:
Sub AddCom()
Const USERNAME As String = "Greer:"
Dim strCommentName As String
Dim cmnt As String
Dim NoMore As Boolean
Dim Pos As Long
cmnt = InputBox("Please enter a comment")
strCommentName = cmnt & vbLf & Now

I have a spreadsheet in which double clicking on any of the cells in the range A4:C17 changes the contents of cells F4:I33. The following code tells me which is the active cell and then pulls the values for F4:I33 from a lookup table based in this.
Private Sub Worksheet_BeforeDoubleClick(ByVal Target As Range, Cancel As Boolean)
Range("B100") = ActiveCell.Address()
Cancel = True
End Sub
code to stick in this (probably after the third line) that autosizes rows 4 to 33. There are no merged cells involved.
I'm trying to automatically resize the width of a combo box based on the width of the longest item in the combo box. The data in the rowsource of the combo box is dynamic.
View 5 Replies View RelatedAmong many attempts to insert and autosize a comment using VBA manually, which errored, i recorded the following bit. When running the macro, it does format the cell - text, not the comment - text and errors in the line highlighted in red.
Range("A14").Select
Range("A14").AddComment
Range("A14").Comment.Visible = False
Range("A14").Comment.Text Text:="Ladida"
With Selection
.HorizontalAlignment = xlLeft
.VerticalAlignment = xlTop
.ReadingOrder = xlContext
.Orientation = xlHorizontal
.AutoSize = True
End With
I just want to add
.AutoSize = True
or something to that effect to the bit below. Any suggestions?
Range("A14").Comment.Text "Ladida"

how to copy the contents of multiple comment boxes and paste in a single comment box.
The big picture is that I have a number of cells with numerical values in and text in comment boxes. I want to be able to click a button to copy the contents of the comment boxes and paste them, along with the numerical value from the cell, into a single comment box, ordered by highest to lowest value within the comment box, then delete the original cells and comments.
I am quite new to VBA but have been coping quite well so far with information of the web and analysing recorded macros.
I am trying to to get it to work so that if there is a comment already in the cell then it would skip to the next macro. Here is what I am trying:
'Mgr Voids
If Range("F9").Comment.Text = True Then End
ElseIf Range("F9").Value > 50 Then
MyInput = Application.InputBox("You Must Give A Reason For The Amount Of Mgr Voids For " & Range("F6"))
ElseIf MyInput = "" Then End
ElseIf MyInput = False Then End
ActiveSheet. Unprotect ("13792468")
ActiveSheet.Range("F9").AddComment
Range("F9").Comment.Visible = False
Range("F9").Comment.Text Text:="" & Chr(10) & (MyInput) & Chr(10) & ""
ActiveSheet.Protect ("13792468")
End If
The first part (If Range("F9").Comment.Text = True Then End) obviously doesn't work because I have no clue how it supposed to be... I was just hoping to get lucky. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,

I am building a tool that uses Pivot Tables (so I can't use track changes) and I have found cool code that will insert timestamp and username in the comment when a change occurs. But I need to modify the code to also take the old value and put it into the comment as well. Here is the code to register the change into the comment:

I know the trick of making a normal hyperlink (to for example www.mrexcel.com)

I'm using Excel 2002 and looking for a way to get rid of the red comment indicator in entirety. While I get that it's not possible there appears to be a workaround which I took off the Contextures website.
Sub RemoveIndicatorShapes()
Dim ws As Worksheet
Dim shp As Shape
Set ws = ActiveSheet
For Each shp In ws.Shapes
If Not shp.TopLeftCell.Comment Is Nothing Then
If shp.AutoShapeType = _
msoShapeRightTriangle Then
shp.Delete
End If
End If
Next shp
End Sub

I have some code that finds the appropriate string for a comment from another sheet. I then want to add the string to the appropriate range selection but am encountering an Object Variable or With Block Variable Not set on this section of
Range("C" & i).Select
ActiveCell.Comment.Delete <== Here Or the Next line
ActiveCell.AddComment (Commenta)
ActiveCell.Comment.Shape.TextFrame.AutoSize = True
Where Commenta is the string value I want to add.
i need to have a way to link a small picture/thumbnail to a cell. so that there is a way to preveiw it. Ideally like what happens with the comments where you hover over the cell and the comment would pop up. or failing that may be a cell linking to the image.
View 8 Replies View RelatedI have Sheet1 and Sheet2, each sheet has 2 columns.
Sheet1:
John 31
Joey 22
Josh 28
Jane 24
Sheet2:
Joey Smith 22
Josh Morgan 27
Jane White 24
John Doe 32
Lookup Sheet1's each Column A cell on Sheet2.
For example, Sheet1 A1 is John, Sheet2 A4 is John Doe, since John Doe contains John, it's a match. Then compare Sheet1 B1 and Sheet2 B4, 31 and 32 don't match. This is what i need to find, then add a comment "Inconsistent" in a new column.
For example, Joey (Sheet1 A2) and Joey Smith (Sheet 1 A1) have same value 22 (Sheet1 B2 and Sheet2 B1). Then no need to add any comment.
