Sep 7, 2012I am working on a database and trying to remove duplicates. When there are duplicates, I want to take the contents of one cell and copy them as a comment on the cell above (or below).
I tried to work on a small macro to do so, but the contents of the cell cannot be copied (it comes out as a blank).
The long way is to 'double click' in the cell, Ctrl+A, cut, click the cell above, Ctrl+F2, paste. This way is very long as I have thousands of duplicates.
Insert A Comment Based On The Value Of A Cell
Jan 18, 2010I have data validation and conditional formatting set for my sheets. However, I cannot figure out something.
I want a "comment" box (just as if I would click on "add comment") to pop up automatically if the user enters a certain value in a cell.
For example, if cell C4="1" then no further action is required. If cell C4=anything other than "1", then the user would be required to enter a comment. I would also like the comment to autopopulate with the users login id.
I will attach the book I am working on for reference, but I do not have any code written for this as I could not figure out where to start.
Insert Pic Into Comment For Every Cell That Has Text Containing String .jpg Or .png
May 10, 2009I need a nudge in the right direction with how to amend the below code so that it :
1: cycles though all cells in a workbook, and sees whether the text reference of the cell contains a picture filename (i.e. searches for .png or .jpg in the cell contents)
3: if (1) is correct, it retrieves the picture from "C:/Users/jeff/Documents/Standards/" and pastes it as a cell comment background in the cell to the right (and overwrites any comment backgrounds that might already exist there)
The code below does something a bit different: it looks in a defined range, then adds a comment with a background picture retrieved based on the text in the cell to the left.
I'm sure this is a pretty basic change, but my VBA skills aren't up to it...I've only just started reading though Walkenbach's Power Programming! I'm using Excel 2007

Convert Multiple Versions Of Cell Contents To Single Version?
Feb 28, 2014I would like to automate the conversion of multiple versions of company names contained in cells to a single company name. i.e. XYZ Inc., XYZ Co., XYZ to all cells XYZ. My data file contains numerous versions of company names. I want them to all be the same company name so sorting data is easier. I now do this manually and it is getting tedious and time consuming. Can I build a table with the different versions that then chamges the cells to a single version that I choose?
View 1 Replies View RelatedAdding Multiple Row Contents Based On The Content Of A Single Cell
May 30, 2007Been trying to work this one out and have ended up banging my head against the wall.
Basically I have a spreadsheet, in the first column is the person's name, in the secon which team they are in and following this a cell for each day of the month with their availability.
The team name is a selection from a list, the availability is 1-6 (different levels of availability)
I'm trying to do subtotals at the bottom for each separate team, so the very last row each of the cells for each is added up:
Name Team 1st 2nd 3rd 4th 5th 6th 7th etc.
Mr X ___1st___1______2__1
Mr Y ___2nd_______2________5__5__5
Mr Z ___1st___1____________3__3__3
Total 1st: 2 2 1 3 3 3
Total 2nd: 2 5 5 5
So basically the formula in the last row goes along the lines of:
Add each cell in the column IF the team name = 1st

Sort Data By Comment Contents / VB Macro
Oct 3, 2009please have a look at the attached file.
I want to sort the data by the comments in Column B, specifically by comments that do contain a telephone number, whether it is "Telefon" ( e.g. in B17 ) or "Phone" ( e.g. in B24 ) or "Téléphone" ( e.g. in B16 )
I know a Macro written in VB could do that.
Insert Cell Contents From One Column Into Another Based On Specific Part?
Jul 30, 2014I have a spreadsheet with four columns of text.
In column A, i have multiple levels followed by a letter (i.e. Level 1A, Level 1B etc).
In column B, i have some other details and then so on and so forth.
In column C/E/G lets say, i want to copy the information from column A to show only items that appear as "Level 1" (not "Level 1A", i only want it to check for things without the letter at the end). Then the same in column E but with "Level 2" and so on and so forth.
Column A...Column B-Column C...Column D--Column E...Column F--Column G...Column H
Level 1A....Metals----Level 1A....Metals ---Level 2A....Integral---Level 3A....Television
Level 1B....Energy----Level 1B....Energy--- Level 2B....Flowers---Level 3B....Kitchen
Level 1C....Synergy---Level 1C...Synergy--Level 2C....Full
Level 2A....Integral---Level 1D....Orders
Level 2B....Flowers
Level 1D....Orders
Level 3A....Television
Level 3B....Kitchen
Level 2C....Full
I also have data in Column B that is to do with column A (i.e "Level 1A" - "Metals") and so on with the following columns. I want the items that are in column B to also move over to column D when the things from Column A move to Column C, so at the end it will appear as below so it appears as above.

Feb 3, 2014The list of data is shown in sheet1
In sheet2 I have shown the data that is copied
I have manually shown comments on 2 cells in sheet2 that shows detailed description on how was the total taken.
I need the comment on all the cells from D8 to G11 (not taking the total column) that shows on how was the total taken.
When any entry in sheet1 is inserted or deleted the comment in sheet2 should change accordingly.
I also do not want to freeze the cells D8:G11 as when new entries are made or deleted the columns would increase or decrease.
All blank cells I do not need any comment.

Auto Insert Comment Based On Value Entered
Dec 7, 2009Is there a way to auto insert a cell Comment when a particular value is entered and then have the Comment copied to a cell in another worksheet in the same workbook?
The value entered into the cells i want this function to work with is from a Validation list. If the cell's value was to change, for instance the user going back to a cell to change the value for whatever reason, I would like the previous comments to remain and then give the user the choice to edit comment or not.
I've had a look in the Forums using search but nothing close seems to be forthcoming.
Insert Comment Into Userform Upon Entering A Textbox?
Jan 17, 2012I have a user-form with around 10 text-boxes. Each one of them has labels.
I was wondering if there was any way to add a function similar to the "insert-> comment" available in excel? So that there would be a tiny marker and when the mouse hoovered over it, some text in a comment bubble would be revealed? Or even better that somehow using VBA that each time you enter a text-box a comment would temporarily appear?
For a variety of reasons I can't just add labels with this info. This info would be instructions on what sort of data you should add to the field, and the instructions in some cases will be quite long and the user-form is too big as it is.

View 6 Replies View RelatedCopy Cell Range To A Cell Comment
Jul 12, 2009I have a recipe and a set of instructions on a worksheet in the cell range A1:H50 and would like to copy the whole range to a single cell as a Comment.
At the moment I select the range, copy and paste it to MS Word.
In Word, I select all and copy, then back in Excel, select cell, insert Comment then paste the text into the Comment box. Then I have to resize the Comments box. Also doing it this way loses some of the original formatting I could get round that by saving the cell range as a picture and inserting the picture in the Comments box.
Surely there has got to be a better way. Using 2007 Excel & Word
Use Excel VBA To Find Values In Table And Insert In To A Comment?
Jul 5, 2012I have a table refreshed from a MySQL database that I use to create a report. I can use this data quite well using formulas in the cells.But in order for me to add more information to the report I use without making it cluttered I need to add some data as comments.
I have created a loop that picks up some cell values that I want to use as criteria but I cant work out how to use these variables to search through the table and get the info I require to put in the comment. In a cell I would use offset/match or index/match to get the required cell value but how do I do this in VBA?
Protecting Cells So That Password Is Required Only To Insert Comment
Dec 3, 2013I've found many resources that tell me how to allow for the insertion/editing of comments within a protected worksheet. When I protect the worksheet, I can select "Edit objects" to allow anyone to insert comments.
However, my issue is that I'd like the Insert/Edit comment functionality to require a password, and this happens to be the opposite of what those resources instruct. I also want the content in those same cells to be editable by anyone.

Macro To Make Insert Comment Window Appear Automatically
Sep 11, 2007I have created an attendance tracker for a team of people at work. It simply involves a grid of the days of the month and on each 'day' (or cell) I have set up the Validation command to prompt the the user to select whether they were at work, on holiday, off sick etc. etc from a drop down box. If they do not change the cell, its defaulted value is that they are in work.
When a user selects the days that they are planning a holiday in the future, they are meant to write a comment on the cells they have changed, to advise when they had 'requested' the holiday.
What I would like is (a macro?) which makes the comment box automatically 'pop up' when they change a cell from its default value prompting them to fill in the details rather than relying on them to 'add comments' manually.
In addition, what would be the best way to 'restrict' them from booking holiday within the next 7 days - we have a problem with people booking holiday on 'lastminute.com' for 2 days time, booking off the holiday on the spreadsheet and saying that they had it planned for weeks!
Referencing A Cell's Contents As Range()
May 14, 2007I'm trying to figure out the best way to reference a cell's contents as a range in VBA code. So essentially it would be simple like this (except of course this doesn't work)... Range("cell(contents,A1)").Select

VBA With Range() To TRIM() Cell Contents
Jan 27, 2010I have column headings that come in through a file upload and for some reason some of the column headings(which are in cells in row1) have extra spaces in the middle of them and at the end of the word. This messes up some of my later coding when trying to find specific header names.
Example:
"Location " - has extra 2 spaces at end, should be "Location"
"Read (Only)" - has 3 spaces in middle, should be "Read (Only)"
I came up with this piece of code to quickly correct the bad headers by Trim()'g the contents of each cell, but it's error'g out & not sure how to fix it:
With Range("A1:A24")
.Value = Trim(.Value)
End With
It errors of course on the '.Value' line.
