Is there an easy way to move a comment box? I have a comment box on a specific cell (hidden until mouse is hovering over it). Each day when new data is filled in, I need to move the comment down to the next cell. Right now, I click on edit comment, copy the comment, then click insert comment in the other cell, paste comment....then delete the old comment. Is there a way to just move the comment down to the next cell?
View 5 Replieshow 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.
This is a repost, I would like to add a comment boxe in multiple sheets (same cell) in a work book. Someone reccomended a macro but then my post was removed.
View 12 Replies View RelatedI am trying to write a VBA macro that will go from one sheet and copy a cell's text, then go back to the main sheet and insert this text into a "comment-box" type of thing.
The box I'm talking about is where you move the mouse over a cell and a box pops up with the comment in it.
I have a document with about 300 comment boxes, and I needed to enlarge each one to make the information visibly fit in the region. I did this, and was happy.
Then I opened the file on another computer, added a few rows, saved the file, and re-opened it on this one, and all the comment boxes in the original rows (the 300 i had, not the 15 I added later) had been reduced in size and not all the text is visible. Why did this happen? Is there an easy way to re-size all the boxes without doing them one at a time?
I am trying to combine the text from the comments boxes of a full row of cells into the comments box of a separate other cell in order to provide an overview of the comments in these cells in one place.

However the user wants column R unprotected so that Comment boxes can be used, but when I protect the workbooksheet the Insert option is not available when you right click.
Is it possible to print a workbook and have the "track changes on screen" show on the hard copy? I'm using Excel's track changes option to monitor changes to a workbook. I've selected the box "Highlight Changes on Screen". I would like the box containing the change (which pops up when you hover your mouse over the cell) to print out with the workbook so users can see what was changed when reviewing the hard copy. This is preferable to using the "List changes on a new sheet" option since it would require flipping between multiple pages.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have an excel work book with 6 tabs. I would like to have Excel move an entire row from one tab to another tab (removing the row and inserting it in the other tab). I.e. Example I have a tab with items that are marked as "Open Actions" so if I were to change the drop down to close. Excel would move that entire row of actions to the tab with the "closed actions" and insert into the next available row. Now if someone were to come back at a later date say no it should be reopened than I would change the drop down to open and excel would move that row back to the open actions tab into next available row. I tried a PIVOT table and no good I played with few macro and not.

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'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.

Set ws = ActiveSheet
For Each shp In ws.Shapes

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.
make the contents of the cell comment box dependent on the cell contents? eg if the cell contents = 2 and a seperate table says 2 is "poor" can it automatically populate the comment with "poor" ?
