I wanted to know how to show a comment when hovering over a checkbox, whether it is enabled or not. I originally added comments in the cell behind each box, but due to many users using different versions of excel and different resolutions of each computer, formatting would be different and it would look awful.
View 3 RepliesI 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 1 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?

Is there any code that let the yellow popup resize to show all the content ? Coz I started thinking in incrementing it's height according to the number of lines.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI am looking for a way to have text hover over a cell when the mouse is moved on top of it.
For example
cell 1 - 5 hours
cell 2 - $10,000
I would like to be able to hover over either cell and text appear saying (using formula)
"Cost Per Hour $2,000"
Is this something people have had been able to achieve successfully?
I have seen some VB script for doing this on charts - but not on cells.
There will be thousand of entries which is why I am not looking to use a cell comments box.
Firstly, I am using Excel 2007.
The purpose of my sheet is a timetable.
What I have is a sheet from B2 to N32. What I would like to do is to be able to hover over a cell to show a date.
I have columns that represent the months, column B is January, coulmn C is February, column D is March, etc, etc. Right up to December in column M.
Row 2 represents the 1st of the month, row 3 is the 2nd, etc, etc, down to the 31st of a month.
What I would like to do is when I hover over, for example, cell B2, I would like a box to pop up to say something like, ' What would like to do on the 1st of January??', then maybe hover over H7 and then a box appears saying, ' What would like to do on the 6th of July?
I would like this to happen on all cells on the sheet.
I have a cell with a number in it. The number refers to a cost center and is validated by using a drop down menu. In another sheet I have a table that gives a text description of the cost center. Is there a way this description can be shown when I hover the mouse over a cell with a cost center number?
(I can of course use vlookup and display it in the next column, but I am wondering if there is a way to show it only while hovering.)
As part of a working spreadsheet there is a section which records faults by way of a numerical list in a dropdown menu. When a number is chosen the fault description appears in the adjacent cell. Is it possible when the mouse hovers over a number in the list the first 20 characters of the fault description could be shown before the fault number is chosen? The attached file is a simple example of the fault numbers and descriptions, in reality some of the faults have longer descriptions with more technical detail.
View 5 Replies View RelatedWhen unprotected my spreadsheet is working fine (apart from the fact that my users can do anything anywhere!) However, as soon as I protect it I am getting a mouse cursor that looks like its hovering over a clickable button? This is odd as the area that its hovering over contains unlocked cells?
Then when I click one of the unlocked cells I get a message box that tells me that Excel cannot locate a macro? Its as though there is a macro being invoked by a click on the screen almost anywhere? as allowing full access only to certain ranges of cells is a pre-req for my project. my file is double the allowable attachable size so I have not attached it.
married, widows, single checkbox is selected

good work.
I have 3 checkboxes; when one is checked, a set/range of rows should be visible. Only 1 checkbox should be checked at a time.
If checkbox 18 is already checked, and checkbox 20 is then checked, I want the first checkbox unchecked and the rows for checkbox hidden.
I'm using the following code. It works great as long as I check and uncheck the same box before attempting to check another box. But if Checkbox18 is already checked with its rows showing, and I then check checkbox20, the checkbox20 sub runs and as I step through, it jumps to sub checkbox18.
How can I stop my subs from jumping from one to another?
Code:
Private Sub CheckBox18_Click()
If CheckBox18.Value = True Then
Worksheets("TRF").Rows("36:41").Hidden = False
Worksheets("TRF").Rows("42:64").Hidden = True
Worksheets("TRF").Rows("65:76").Hidden = True
CheckBox19.Value = False
[Code] .........
How can i hide and unhide one checkbox using another one? Can it be done using IF formula?
And also i am using this checkbox to function something else as TRUE/FALSE.
My pallet lost color-coding - if I hover over each little scare it displays the names for the colors and if I click on them they color the cells with the right colors, but the palette itself lost the visual display of colors except for 8 colors: black, blue, red, magenta, yellow, cyan, and white.
I use color-coding of cells a lot and I find it difficult to work without visual clues. At least the hover-support allows me to get the work done, but with difficulty.
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".
If there is more data in a cell than can be displayed due to the size of the cell, is there a way to get a real-time preview of all the contents in the cell just by hovering over or clicking on the cell?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have been using different keywords to find what I need. I have 3 checkboxes: cash, amex, other. I have a subtotal cell. When the appropriate checkbox is checked, the amount from the subtotal cell will auto go to the cell next to the checkbox. Is this VB?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI 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 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 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.
