VBA Selecting A Visible Comment

May 29, 2008

I'm developing a little way to be able to modify comments without having to use the mouse (normally I need to right click the ActiveCell in order to choose "Show/Hide comments"). Below is 2 simple lines of code for unhiding the comment of the ActiveCell and then selecting it. What I can't figure out how to do is actually get the cursor to be inside the comment so that I can start modifying text or entering additional text.

Sub comment_unhide()
ActiveCell.Comment.Visible = True
ActiveCell.Comment.Shape.Select True
End Sub

Selecting Visible Cells

Jan 9, 2007

someone the VBA code which only selects visible cells in a sheet.
i.e. if for example, range("a1:d5") contained data BUT

range("a6:d100") contained formulae but NO data

the macro would only highlight range("a1:d5")

However, when say range("a6:d10") contained data, then the macro would highlight range("a1:d10")

and so on.

I want the mcro to do this without me having to manually change the ranges when running the macro.

Selecting Visible Rows Post Applying Filters?

Apr 7, 2014

I have an excel spreadsheet(Sheet1) with information in 35,000 odd trade lines, which is eventually compared against another set of records from another tab (Sheet2) in the same spreadsheet.

Have recorded a macro which does the lookup using the common parameters and returns the unique identifer in Sheet1 from Sheet2. Post updating the UID's in Sheet1 - range O:O, I need to select all the rows which are not matched and move it to another tab.

I apply filter on column O1 and select #N/A and select the complete range. Via VB I use the below code to move between to the visible row from filtered row:

Range("O1").Select
ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Select
Do Until ActiveCell.EntireRow.Hidden = False
ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Select
Loop

If the visible row is within the first 1,000 rows, it doesn't take much time. However if the same is around 25,000th row, it takes more than 5-6 mins in order to move to the visible row.

Dependent Field Not Made Visible On Selecting Dropdown Value

May 31, 2013

In my IE site there is a field which is a dropdown field with the value 'Not Known' and 'Specified Date'. If I select 'Specified Date' another field named 'Date' becomes visible where I can give a date. I was able to ensure that the value 'Specified Date' is selected using the following statement:

IE.document.GetElementById("startDateBasis").Value = "SpecifiedDate"I also was able to populate the date field with the statement:
IE.document.GetElementById("startDate").Value = SOA

Where SOA is populated with the date string I need to be given as input in IE.

My issue though is that, eventhough the data is provided by the macro the field 'Date' is not visible. So I have no way to know if the input was succesful until I submit the screen. I think I read somewhere that this is because of the way datebasis is populated.

How to get the field 'Date' made visible if datebasis is given as 'Specified Date'?

Copy Contents Of Multiple Comment Boxes And Paste In Single Comment Box

Mar 13, 2014

how 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.

Resize Visible Rows Based Only On Visible Columns Text

Selecting All Data In Specific Columns Without Selecting Adjacent Column

Mar 10, 2014

Using VBA, I need to Select A1:C14.

The problem is that A1:C14 contains blank cells, and there is also an adjacent column D that I do not want to copy.

So, UsedRegion and CurrentRegion aren't doing it for me. (It selects Column D too.)

Obviously, this is an example...the real data set is an export and varies in size.

How To Copy From Visible Cells To Visible Cells

Apr 16, 2014

Every time i do a filter and copy a data. Keep the filter on and past in another column. The data does not copy just into the visible cells. It pretend the filter is not there.

I have tried selecting only vible cells when copying and pasting into cells by selecting only visible cells but does not seem to work. Get the error message "command cannot be used on multiple section". There must be a solution but looked on the web and really cannot find one.

Table below so i filter out the "a" so i just have numbers then want to past into vible cells.

If Comment Then End

Apr 25, 2006

I am trying to to get it to work so that if there is a comment already in the cell then it would skip to the next macro. Here is what I am trying:

'Mgr Voids
If Range("F9").Comment.Text = True Then End
ElseIf Range("F9").Value > 50 Then
MyInput = Application.InputBox("You Must Give A Reason For The Amount Of Mgr Voids For " & Range("F6"))
ElseIf MyInput = "" Then End
ElseIf MyInput = False Then End
ActiveSheet. Unprotect ("13792468")
ActiveSheet.Range("F9").AddComment
Range("F9").Comment.Visible = False
Range("F9").Comment.Text Text:="" & Chr(10) & (MyInput) & Chr(10) & ""
ActiveSheet.Protect ("13792468")
End If




The first part (If Range("F9").Comment.Text = True Then End) obviously doesn't work because I have no clue how it supposed to be... I was just hoping to get lucky. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Shawn

Put Hyperlink In A Comment?

May 24, 2012

What I need; I want a comment on my spreadsheet to be clickable, when it's clickt it needs to follow the path (written in cell B55) to an image.

I know the trick of making a normal hyperlink (to for example www.mrexcel.com)

But I can't get it working for an image; tried file://c:/test/test.jpg

Is there an ******* event for comments? Or is it possible to create a hyperlink in the comments to the image?

Comment Indicator

Jul 26, 2008

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.

Sub RemoveIndicatorShapes()

Dim ws As Worksheet
Dim shp As Shape

Set ws = ActiveSheet

For Each shp In ws.Shapes
If Not shp.TopLeftCell.Comment Is Nothing Then
If shp.AutoShapeType = _
msoShapeRightTriangle Then
shp.Delete
End If
End If
Next shp

End Sub

Lookup And Compare - Add Comment

Dec 19, 2013

I 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.
