Copy Cell Comments Automatically To Another Workbook
Sep 6, 2006
Public preValue As Variant 'Declares a variable to be used in both macros
'This is the first line for a macro that runs when a cell is changed.
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Target.Count > 1 Then Exit Sub 'Limits the change to 1 cell only
If Intersect(Target, Range("$A$1:$M$42")) Is Nothing Then Exit Sub
Target.ClearComments 'Clears any existing comment
Target.AddComment.Text Text:="Previous Value was " & preValue & Chr(10) & "Revised " & Format( Date, "mm-dd-yyyy") & Chr(10) & "By " & Environ("UserName") 'Adds a new comment with the text. CHR(10) is a return.
End Sub
'This code sets the variable preValue when a cell is selected
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
If Target.Count > 1 Then Exit Sub 'Limits code to 1 cell
If Intersect(Target, Range("$A$1:$M$42")) Is Nothing Then Exit Sub
preValue = Target.Value 'Set the variable preValue to the selected cell's value
End Sub
How do I take the changes made from the first work book and insert them in a cell on the second work book. Where in the code above do I Put this command.

Need automate a process that I would like to implement into my spreadsheet,
It involves inserting comments,
I want to be able to select a particular cell anywhere in my spreadsheet, and then click on a command button and have a comment automatically inserted into the active cell, I tried to record the macro by hand but I do not know how to state that it is the active cell the comment should be added to

I need a macro that will do the following scenarios.
1. I have two workbooks.
a. The first contains a sheet with " Names" listed in column A.
b. The 2nd contains a sheet with "Names" listed similar to first workbook. The only difference is that the 2nd workbook contains 2 other columns, "Age" in B and "Address" in C.
2. Only the 1st workbook is opened.
3. When I click a name in the 1st workbook, it will look for a match with that of the 2nd workbook.
a. If there's a match, it will copy the corresponding "Age" and "Address" and display them as comment to that name in the 1st workbook.
b. Else, it will display a comment that no record was found.

What I need to do is write a Vba code that will copy the comments (I believe thats the right term, the ones that make a mouseover box and put a red triangle in the corner of the cell) of a cell and paste them into that cell.

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".

I have 2 workbooks. 1 is where data is entered called wksPB, the other is like a database workbook. The wksPB has data to be feed from column B to F and there is a dropdown.
what im looking to do is, if the combobox value is selected as Decline then it should display a messagebox that reference value in cell B is denied. if combobox value is Agreed then the macro should search the database workbook for the text entered in column b of wksPB and then copy data of C:E of wksPB to H:J of database sheet where that text is found and also the approver name in wksPB C24 to the approver cell of where that text was found. I've reached till finding the text but what I get my head twiting on is how to copy the text from wksPB column B:F to database sheet column H:K. Im attaching the sample workbooks and the code where ive reached till.

I am very new to vba and trying to figure out an auto save macro that will automatically save my workbook when a certian cell range is changed. Right now I have a macro set that automactially record the time and date of when a change is made to the name cell, I want to set up a macro that will automatically save the file when the time is updated.
This program is used by several users and they have a tendnecy to forget to save the program so that when other people want to check the updated data nothing has changed because the changes have not been saved. I have attached the file that I am working on. When a change is made in column F then Column G automatically updates, now I want column G to trigger autosave. I would also like a msgbox to appear to tell user that file has been saved.

Is there a way to set up a cell so that when you click the cell, the cell’s value is automatically copied to the clipboard?
Example:
A1 = “1”
A2 = “2”
A3 = SUM(A1:A2)
Can you set up cell A3 so that when you pick it with your mouse, “3” is copied to the clipboard ready for you to paste elsewhere?
I have tried searching through the forum to find an answer but nothing has come up.

I am trying to create a tracking spreadsheet in which modules need to move through certain phases. I have tabs for all appropriate phases. I would like to be able to select from a pull-down the current phase and have the spreadsheet automatically populate the appropriate tab. Ideally, I would like to be able to edit the process in any of the phases and have it backfill as well (ie if the status changes while in phase 3, I don't have to go back to phase 1 to change it, I can edit it in the phase 3 tab and phase 1 will automatically update).
Additionally, I would like it to calculate this constantly not just when the spreadsheet opens.
I have achieved this partially with formulas but I am finding that it is extremely slow and also doens't always update correctly. I also can't get the circular referencing to work so I don't have full capability using the formulas.

I receive a huge spreadsheet with account numbers in col A and names in col b with dates in col g and amounts in h. However if there is more than one date and amount for the same account number and name, the people/program who originated the data left those fields blank.
In order to sort the list by name by date, I have been manually copying the data from the row immediately above to the blank row(s). (L O N G process) So if I have ...

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 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 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 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.

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!
