Here is a picture example of what I mean, just randomly found on google:

Maybe an insignificant thing I want, but can the line from the comment connecting to the red indicator be removed? Added an example since my comments show up below the selected cell with VBA code.
I currently have some code which reads a stock file, adding up the stock for each individual item (which may be in one or more locations in the warehouse) and then placing the total stock count in a cell with the detail (of how much stock is in each location, the location and the expiry date) and a separate line for each location, in a comment.
The comment is constructed one line at a time as the code finds the stock records, see code below:
With shtWorking.Range(strStartColumn & intRow + 2)
oldComment = .Comment.Text
.Comment.Delete
.AddComment oldComment & vbNewLine & strComment
.Comment.Shape.TextFrame.AutoSize = True
End With
All this works very nicely, but I want to colour individual lines depending on the expiry date. This can be done manually in Excel, but I cannot find a way of colouring individual lines of text in a comment using VBA.
So, does anyone know of a way I can colour individual lines of text in a comment, using VBA?
I have a workbook that I received from a vendor that when I click in a cell a comment appears. There is no line or comment indicator for each comment. So I went into the tools - options - views - comments section and chose no comments. The comments still appear and when I go to the tool bar - view - comments nothing appears. I checked for any VBA code and didn't see anything. I was able to get around this problem by copy/paste special into a new worksheet, but curiosity is killing this cat.
View 2 Replies View RelatedIn the example added a code is running to show the comments (pictures) when the cell is selected. This way you don't have to mouse-over to show the comment, you just use your arrow keys.. Is there a way to not show comments on mouse-over? I only want them to show while the cell is selected, using the VBA code. Because now you can show 2 comments while a cell is selected, and you put your cursor on another cell.
View 2 Replies View RelatedIn the last thread Andy gave me this code to only show the comments when a cell in Column A is selected. It doesn't show them anymore when you put your cursor on a cell. But when 2 excel files are open, including the example, and you close the other one it asks the regular stuff; Do you wan't to save .. etc. It also askes that with the example added, and when you press cancel, the code doesn't work anymore and I have to re-open it. Or if, for some reason, you close the sheet, but still want to edit something, press cancel, the code doesn't work anymore. How can this be changed?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI'm attempt to automatically validate QTP spreadsheets with an EXCEL VBA macro. All is going well but I now want to look smarter. Is there a method to globally remove all comments from a worksheet?: D What I actually want to do is add comments to cells which fail validation but some of these cells may already contain comments. If they do contain comments then I want to overwrite with my comments. I thought the easiest way would be to delete all comments at the start of macro but I am all ears to any other approach.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have enclosed 3 pictures with my question.
1. Is where the user is putting in data.
2. Is a spreadsheet with the data choosen from the action of the user, but it is containing also the non-choosen data from the input spreadsheet.
3. IS how I want the data shown to me either automatic or thru a macro. So is there any code like IF or some Macro who would make this happen?
What I want at the end of the day is a list of products that the user have put in and nothing else, with the QTY and price and the sum of that.
In Sheet1 cell A1 has concatenate formula and the data source is linked from sheet "DataInput". Sheet1 cell A1 has multiple data and there are blank lines within the cell. I would like to remove these lines so it looks clean without any gaps. So basically its looking like this right now

A formula or something that would fix this problem automatically.
I have code that works well to insert a blank row. I need to remove all vertical lines each time it adds a row. You can see I commented out the line I tried.
Sub InsertRow()
Dim LstRw As Long, ChkRw As Long
LstRw = Cells(Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
For ChkRw = LstRw To 6 Step -1
If Cells(ChkRw, "A") Cells(ChkRw - 1, "A") Then
Rows(ChkRw).EntireRow.Insert
'Selection.Borders(xlInsideVertical).LineStyle = xlNone
End If
Next ChkRw
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
I have created a form for my customers. It is attached.
In creating the form, I have merged cells so that the area behind my text boxes will appear clean (no lines).
However, I cannot remove the lines around certain cells see, e.g. range K21.
I would like to make the form as "pretty" as possible for my clients (and it would help me look good to management).
I'm trying to remove lines in my line charts. I searched the internet and find the following code:
Code:
Sub RemoveLines()
Dim ser As Series
For Each ser In ActiveChart.SeriesCollection
ser.Format.Line.Visible = False
Next ser
End Sub
However, when I run the code, I got "Object doesn't support this property or method". I did select the chart. I have excel 2003 with vba 6.5.
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 found a very useful UDF for removing non-alpha characters from strings. (See below, Credit for posting to Stanley D Grom - Ozgrid post ´Removing Non-alpha Characters From Text´).
Option Explicit
Private Function RemoveCharacters(InString As String) As String
Dim intLoopCounter As Integer
Dim intStringLength As Integer
Dim intASCIIVal As Integer
intStringLength = Len(InString)
InString = LCase(InString)
For intLoopCounter = 1 To intStringLength
intASCIIVal = Asc(Mid(InString, intLoopCounter, 1))
If intASCIIVal >= 97 And intASCIIVal <= 122 Then
RemoveCharacters = RemoveCharacters + Mid(InString, intLoopCounter, 1)
End If
Next intLoopCounter
End Function
Two requests:
1. Could the UDF be modified such that any part of a string contained within brackets is also removed (e.g. "NLGA High Street (West-Enfield), EN6" becomes "nlgahighstreeten")?
2. Can an argument be added to the format of the UDF, such that numbers (0 to 9) are either included or excluded (e.g. RemoveCharacters(A1,1) where the argument ´1´ would include any numbers (0 to 9), so "NLGA2003 High Street (West-Enfield), EN6" becomes "nlga2003highstreeten6")? ´blank´or ´0´would exclude these numbers, i.e. would return "nlgahighstreeten"
I know that you can add a comment to a cell using a statement like
Range("A1").AddComment "Hello"
But is it possible to add more text to that comment using VBA?
I tried things like
Range("A1").AddComment "Hello."
Range("A1").Comment = Range("A1").Comment + " How are you?"
but I guess I can't alter the comment that way.
im using comments to display images for easy look up
when i save a picture i want it to be that size when i hovver over the comment
but when i insert the picture it doesnt open the size that i saved it as
i manually have to resize the image so its legible
why is this and is there a way round this?
I was wondering if there was a way to add comments (that you see in spreadsheets) on a userform in vb editor. So that when you run the form and the user moves the mouse over a textbox then it displays the comment.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am sure this can be done - I found a similar thread but in a different context to what I need.
I have a user of a workbook who insists on putting irritating red cornered comments in cells, rather than using the handy (and rather large) comments field I put in, especially for her.
I want to create a comments box whenever a cell is double clicked in sheet "Settlements"
View 9 Replies View RelatedFor each cell, instead using a comment, I need another way to show a large amount of principaly letter texts, without using hypervincules, and ofcourse comments.
By the way, the same text I enter or modify put in this "way", I need to modify in the MSWord document and viceversa.
I appreciate the linking do not open another app, because the large amount of them I need to work with.
I have a sub that works just fine, but I need to test it for blanks.
Sub AddToComment()
Dim rCell As Range
Dim cCom As Comment
Sheets("Support Detail").Select
With Range("e5")
.ClearComments
Set cCom = .AddComment
End With
Sheets("Sheet1").Select
For Each rCell In Range("a4:a23")
cCom.Text Text:=rCell.Text & " " & cCom.Text
Next rCell
End Sub
I only have 1 line of test in the a4:a23 range - so I'm getting 19 spaces before the text in the comment. If the cells within a4:a23 are blank, how do I ignore them? I'm not sure how to interpret this code, so I'm sure it's probably easy:
cCom.Text Text:=rCell.Text & " " & cCom.Text
I have an excel worksheet which has a lot of comments attached to individual cells. Is there a way to convert these comments into a microsft word document along with the contents of the cells to identify where they originated? Also Is it possible to convert just a selection of cells into word document rather than the whole worksheet.
the little red triangle in the corner of cells with comments in. Note: I know how to print the actual comments - however, the colleague I'm assisting only wants to show that there is a comment without actually showing said comment. I'm using Excel 2007.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI 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 would like to copy and paste comments from one cell to another. I don't want to copy and paste the contents of the cells, just the comments and the formatting that goes with the comments.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI 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."

View 7 Replies View RelatedI have slight problem with an OnChange Event by Target.
I am looking to be able to change a cell value from one to another, create a comment block that says "person B for person A" , change the color and be done.
If the cell is empty then the code should exit the sub (not working). If the cell has already been change once then I want the comment box to show a second line of who changed what.
What I tried in the comment box, thinking it would keep the value:
I searched for a code to add pictures to comments with VBA.
I only found this:
I have code that adds comments to a field once the field has been changed. What happens is you right click the field, select a field that has been added to the right-click menu called FYI. After FYI is selected an InputBox() statement is used and a box appears for you to type comments. Then what you typed is added to the comments in the cell.
Is there a function like the InputBox that allows you to use a List Box instead. I have tried finding it but cannot locate what I think it is. This is probably simple but I can't think of anything. I guess I could create a user form that pops up but I thought this would be easier to just have a Dop list appear like the InputBox if there was a function already in Excel?
