Cell Contents To Cell Comments With Lookups
Sep 18, 2009
I'm working on an attendance spreadsheet and would like to set up an onchange() macro that will do the following:
Take the contents of cell in column E, paste them as a comment in a cell found in sheet from F, row from C and column from today's date. Confused yet? this should help, my sheet has the following columns:
A Date
B Time
C Employee Name
D Callback number
E Reason for absence
F Manager
Spreadsheet has pages for each manager and I use the formula:

I'm wondering if it is at all possible to have a cell comment automatically update depending on what data is input in the cell (via user input, VLOOKUP, etc.)?
For example, if cell A1 contains the text "CHARLES" with a comment saying "Employee of the Month", and is then subsequently updated with the new text "JOHN" (again, via direct input, a VLOOKUP, data validation, etc.) is there a way to have the comment automatically update to say something else, such as "Team Lead" for example?
I've considered using VBA to accomplish my goal, but am unsure how to compose an effective code to do so. I've also considered perhaps creating a named table filled with all the different comment possibilities I would like to have used in this cell and then inputting a formula in either cell A1, or the comment contained therein, that would then call the corresponding text from that table based on the data in cell A1. Honestly, I'm not sure that what I'm trying to do is even possible;

I am looking for creating a dynamic meeting log/calendar for my team. There's a couple of elements to my questions below:
I have a log with columns such as "Meeting Date", "Client", "Attendee" and have also set up month calendars on separate tabs which automatically update the dates according to a "Year" toggle using Janoffset, Feboffset, etc.
What I would like to do is have these calendars automatically populate a cell beneath each date with any meetings on that day. The client name and then a space then the attendee in brackets would be sufficient and with each meeting having its own line in the cell).
I have gotten a Vlookup working but have run into two snags: 1) where there is more than one meeting on a single day 2) I can only return one piece of information in the cell or otherwise have it blank, I can't have the client name AND attendee.
Is there any way to lookup all of that information in the one cell or is this just a pipe dream?
I have attached my workbook which contains my workings so far and in the first cell of Jan shown the "ideal" format. I'd like the data in.

I have three cells, let's call them A1, A2, A3. Cell A2 contains a list of products. I need to be able to have the price for these products appear in cell A3. The prices vary based on the contents of cell A1. There is a different list of prices for each different value in A1. I've tried to figure out a way to use a lookup, but can't seem to wrap my brain around it.
Contents of A1 determines unit prices in A3.
Contents of A2 is a list of products.
Contents of A3 is pricing for list products in A2, but pricing is controlled by content of A1.

On sheet1, I have numbers and names. These names are also contained in Comments on sheet2, and i would like a function in Column M that matches the numbers with the names in the comments. Cell M1 I have manually filled for demonstration purposes.
Can this be done with a function or is this a VBA task?

I have an Excel 2007 workbook with several sheets, and various cells in several of the sheets have column headers with a description in the same cell enclosed in curly brackets, e.g. Header{Description}. I would like to to keep the column headers in their respective cells, but move (cut) the descriptions along with the brackets to the respective cell comments.

I thought this was a pretty simple formula but I am having difficulty creating it. I am attaching a little test spreadsheet. Sheet 1 is where the data will be entered. The Reimbursed column has a drop down choice of yes or no. The next 2 columns are the cost of registration and the cost of accommodations. On sheet 2 is where I would like the formulas. So in cell A4 I would like a formula that says if B3 on sheet 1 is Yes populate this cell with the contents of Cell C3 only, B4 of sheet 2 would then be B3 if A3 on sheet 3 is Yes and so on with the Not reinbursed if sheet 1 the Reimbursed column is no.

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.

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."

I have inserted a comment on a cell.... what required is the comment should show every time the cell is selected/highlighted with the keyboard - no matter the mouse pointer is on the cell or not.
Whereas, the comments only shows when the mouse pointer touches the cell...

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.

I am trying to add comments in a selection of cells and where there is a value then the comment should show the formula value of the cell ie if the formula in cell A1 is = 9 + 10 then the comment should show this. This I have got to work, but if I have a comment already the macro fails and I have tried to get round this but I am not clever enough.
Sub InsertingComments()
Dim r As Range
For Each r In Selection
If r.Comment = True Then

I have a list on my first worksheet that is sequentially numbered in the first column, and has work activities in the next column. On my second worksheet, I have those sequential activity numbers as the column headers on a new list. Problem is I don't have any room to label the new list by the activity's actual description(second column, first sheet). If I did, I would just use a simple VLOOKUP.
So, what I would like to do is utilize the VLOOKUP to pass the activity description string to a UDF that will create a comment in those column headers. Then when the user mouses over the activity numbers, the respective activity descripiton will pop-up as a comment thus solving my space problem!

I would like to be able to sum quantities held in comments. I am using the Ozgrid VBA module to sum cells based on a fill color, and it works incredibly. However, sometimes I only want to sum a fraction of a cell's contents, and I don't want to use separate fill colors for all possible combinations, so I am thinking to have the comment tab contain the quantity that I want to sum. Example: employee has a total hrs worked of 8 but 2.75 of those hours are to be allocated to sick pay. Typically employees are restricted to taking benefit hours in increments of 4 or 8, and I have some coding to handle that situation.

I need help with my current macro so that it will look in several cells (myrange) if comment(s) are found, write it in a particular cell, so that you end up with all comments written in that cell. If no comment are found then search until the end of the range(or until all comments are found). My current problem is that it is repeatedly writing the comments it finds and I end up with the same number of comments in one cell as number of cells in myrange.

I have a VBA that can add a comment based on the cell value, however, I need it to do it for the whole worksheet and not just one cell. I am pretty new to using VBA's, so this is the best code I could find that would perform what I need. If there is a way to have it do run a vlookup, instead of me listing all the cases, that would be great as well.
VB:
Sub AddComment()
Dim strText As String
With Range("s6")
Select Case UCase(.Value)
Case "UPT": strText = "UnPaid Tardy/Late"

I have Main worksheet (sheet 9) and some codes in Sheet 10 which I use as a source for data validation in Sheet 9. So far I have a macro which looks for changes in cells and, when someone chooses a code from the list the macro adds a comment to the cell and populates it with an explanation of the code. The explanations are also in the code worksheet (Sheet 10). It works really nicely but I cannot work out how to remove the comment if the user clears the value in the cell.
My Macro thus far is:

I am using a lot of double click routines in my sheet. In order for the sheet to be more user friendly I have used the comments of cells to tell the user what to do. For instance "Double click to choose type" or some such. Everything works great except that after the user selects what they want from the userform and it hides and the focus comes back to the sheet, the comment is in edit mode. While this is not horrible it is not as nice as I would like. I have tried to have my code send the active cell to another cell and then back, but that doesn't seem to work. Does anyone have any ideas on how to keep the comments from going into edit mode?

I have a spreadsheet with several comments with pictures on cells. I want them to show up when you select the cell, instead of having to put your mouse cursor on it. I found this code, but then it shows the comment on the middle of the spreadsheet. I want the comments to show next to the selected cell.

I am dealing with large amount of data.
In the first worksheet, there are multiple comments and I need the property of the cell including the comment to be transferred to the second sheet using a formula.
Suppose in "Sheet1" in cell A5 it says "Number of Sales" with a comment "Check everyday".
Know I need to transfer this to say in "Sheet2" in cell A5. So in A5 of Sheet2 I can type
='Sheet1'!A5
This only brings the text and in this example it would say "Number of Sales" without the comment. All i need is for the comment to be joined with the cell.
I do not how to use Visual Basic and need your help
I cannot use Copy Paste in this case because the file is too large.
If there is no comment it should just write the value of the cell and if no value in cell than it should leave it blank. I will attach a file as a example

I am creating an excel sheet where there is a comments section where the column width is 58 characters. Is it possible for someone putting in comments to have it automatically go to the next row once they enter 55 characters in the row above? I don't want to use wrap text and need to maintain the rows in this section.

I have a worksheet that has user fillable cells from B11-AR53. I want the user to be able to attach comments to cells and then to be able to print them on secondary sheet. I know that excel already can perform this function, but it references the cell address and I don't like that method. I want to have the comments on the printout indexed and tied to an index number in the cell. Creating another worksheet with the comments only is perfectly fine. I am currently using this formula (below) to index the comments on the worksheet that they are attached to.
Ideally my report/second worksheet would list-
1 - Comment that is indexed as 1 would be here
2 - Comment that is indexed as 2 would be here
....and so forth
Sub CoverCommentIndicator()
Dim ws As Worksheet
Dim cmt As Comment
Dim lCmt As Long
Dim rngCmt As Range
Dim shpCmt As Shape

I would like help with a formula or VBA that would show comments based on cell values.
For example, if cell A1 has cell value '2143', I want comments to be 'Twinkle Twinkle Little Stars' and if cell D1 has cell value '4567', I want 'Humpty Dumpty Fall on a Wall', and etc. How can I do it? I have about 35 different cell value categories. I appreciate any help you can give me. Thanks in advance for your time and effort.
