I try to edit comments in cells of a certain column and nothing happens. I am able to edit other comments throughout the spreadsheet, but when I select "edit comments" for these particular cells, no edit box is displayed for editing. It worked fine a couple of weeks ago.
View 11 RepliesI have a comment which I wish to edit, but I am unable to either edit or delete the comment. I have checked the 'shared workbook', 'shared worksheet', and 'protected cell' options and they are all turned off (never had them on).
The cell I have the comment on has a dropdown box, but I can't see that being a problem. I am able to add a comment, which I can edit and delete, but the original comment seems to be 'stuck'.
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?

At the moment, the comments dissapear after editing the links in excel 2007 that i am using.
Changing the display (foe cells with comments, show) under file-options-advanced has not really worked.
I have several Excel files that I am about to change some data in, so I need to create an macro to speed it up. All sheets should be updated besides the last one.
The number of sheets differs between the files. The data that should be changed is in column C, starting at cell C10. But the number of rows differs. If the data in the cell begins with a Q, the Q should be removed, and if it doesn't begins with Q it should be skipped.
Heres a strange thing, My latest version of a spreadsheet i have design has got a small problem. When clicking on a cell, nothing appears in the edit window, and when you double click on the cell to edit the contents the data disappears.
This only happens on one sheet within a workbook of 7 pages. The werid thing is that it does not happen on the version before
Any ideas how this could of happened and is there a fix?
I have a sheet that I have added protection to (Tools / Protection / Protect Sheet) with a password (PostItNote). Before I protect the sheet I have allowed users to edit ranges (Tools / Protection / Allow Users To Edit Ranges). I have made my selection of the cells that users are allowed to edit and protected the sheet. I now want to run a macro that will un-protect the sheet (in order to allow the macro to edit the protected cells) make some changes and then re-protect the sheet. The macro runs as it should do but when it stops I am unable to edit the cells that I allowed users to edit? For some reason the areas that I enabled users to edit have been changed allowing users to only edit far less cells that I originally set!
Here is my macro code that I am running:

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".
Am trying to put comments on column G based on information on column A. Column A contains a grade eg CDEF picked up from another sheet using vlookup. This grade is suppossed to be the same, but I have cases where I add a different grade say GHIJ to fill up my 99 required grades.Column G is for comments such as "Transfered" (which at the moment am entering manually)How can I use a formular so that each time I transfer from another grade other that the one intended it returns a comment "tranfered" on column G? Is it also possible to indicate the cell from which vlookup picked that grade on the same comment column G.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have an unwanted link and I can't remove it. I have tried through the Edit Links dialog box, searched for [ in formulas throughout the workbook and gone searching manually for the reference but to no avail.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI 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.
Need one column to combine three columns I have a in a spreadsheet.
Column A - Comments
I have a comment called Duplicate or blanks
Column B - Comments 2
I have a comment called Loss Fund or blanks
Column C - Comments 3
I have a comment of Y or N
I just a want formulae which put the following in one column
Where it is Duplicate in Column A
Where it is Loss Fund in Column B
Where it is Y in Column C
So I have one field for all comments.
I have a substantial schedule that has been completed by a 3rd party who has used the comment function for important data. Can anyone suggest how i can utilise a macro to extract all of the comments into the adjacent column?
The comments are currently against cells in column E and i'd like to extract them to blank cells in a newly inserted column F.
Is there a way to delete comments in a selected range of blank cells?
View 7 Replies View RelatedWhen adding a comment I check for an existing comment, if exist then delete and add new comment and some text in that cell. This works as long as the cell has an existing comment; other wise it advances to the "Else" where I thought I would be entering a comment and text in an empty cell. Why does my macro treat an empty cell as if it has a comment?

I have a cell comment on a series of columns and want to show only one column at a

is still at the original place. How I move the comment when the original colums between are hidden ?
I have an worksheet that refreshes every day from a .csv report. I would like to be able to have a comments column at the end that users type in. The problem is how to keep the comment next to the row it was on before the refresh.
When it refreshes there will be new rows, rows that are no longer there and all in a different order.
There is an Order Number column that can be used as an ID column.
I'd like to know how to have the comment feature without the red triange on cells with comments. I didn't want to use data validation comments because I want the hover feature.

I selected only 1 value of cells
I want to add comments to all the 1 value cells by selecting all 1 by shift + ctl +down
I can put same comments to all the cells?
If you want to have the same comment applied on many cells you could apply it to a single cell, then use the copy and paste special tool bar commands (under Edit) In Paste Special select "Comments" but value is going of that cell.

How can I modify this sub to skip cells that are empty? I only want cells that are populated within the range to actually display the comment indicator, with the cell text transferred to the comment.
Ideally, I'd also like the text to be moved (not just copied) to the comment and leave an 'X' in the cell, in place of the text that was transferred to the comment, but I'll settle for the action above.
I am having trouble writing a macro to do the following. Someone had created a spreadsheet a while back that highlighted the cell green and inserted a comment with the person's name and date/time if they changed anything in that cell. The macro works great, but I need a macro to undo the changes.
I would like a macro that will remove all comments from the sheet and revert the cells back to their original color. Since the cells encompass many colors, at the very least, I would like the macro to remove the comments and make the cells the default shading (white).
I noticed that I have several (@200) comments that when visible displays Cell X Commented by (my work user number) in the lower left corner of the excel window. I'm not sure how to change this so its the company name instead of my work number. I'd be using a loop to go through each comment but need help with the line that would change this part.
View 8 Replies View RelatedI have a report where, month in month out, i have to append columns on the right, to give a Year to date figure. Now there are many rows with different numbers but one of the columns is call [NOTES]. This is where the user can provide commentry on the weekly figures.
Now whats getting annoying is i have to copy this commentry and then create a comments box then paste the text in there and finally, hide the comment.
So what i want to be able to do is be able to Copy the cell, then, have a right click menu button saying "Paste As Comment", so it paste the selected cells contents into a comment and hides it.
I have a worksheet where some cells contain a comment. I don't know beforehand how many of those cells are present, nor their address. I want to write a macro that stores the values of only the cells that contain a comment into an array (of course the size of the array is not known beforehand). This should be done by scanning through those special cells in a given order (by rows, by columns, whatever).

VBA that compares sheets and moves duplicates found in column A to sheet 3 but it leaves the rest of the row on sheet 2.

I have two columns, one with an account number (call it A) and another with a vendor id (call it B). I need the length of the number in column A to be truncated to 10 characters by just deleting any additional characters after 10. That should be based on whether or not the corresponding cell in column B equals the following number "147212336". Right now, my code edits the ENTIRE column A, not just the cell in the same row.
I know it's because I'm using a "FOR EACH CELL" argument but I don't what else would work.
Code:
Set acctlengthrange = Range("N2", Cells(LastRowB, "N"))
Set dplrange = Range("P2", Cells(LastRowB, "P"))
With dplrange
If cell.Value = "147212336" Then
For Each cell In acctlengthrange
cell.Value = Left(cell.Value, 10)
Next
End If
