I'd like to know how to have the comment feature without the red triange on cells with comments. I didn't want to use data validation comments because I want the hover feature.
View 5 RepliesI'm wondering if it is at all possible to have a cell comment automatically update depending on what data is input in the cell (via user input, VLOOKUP, etc.)?
For example, if cell A1 contains the text "CHARLES" with a comment saying "Employee of the Month", and is then subsequently updated with the new text "JOHN" (again, via direct input, a VLOOKUP, data validation, etc.) is there a way to have the comment automatically update to say something else, such as "Team Lead" for example?
I've considered using VBA to accomplish my goal, but am unsure how to compose an effective code to do so. I've also considered perhaps creating a named table filled with all the different comment possibilities I would like to have used in this cell and then inputting a formula in either cell A1, or the comment contained therein, that would then call the corresponding text from that table based on the data in cell A1. Honestly, I'm not sure that what I'm trying to do is even possible;
Is there a way to use the =SUM(--:--) feature, but to bypass any cells that contain text instead of numbers that are in the range?
I'm currently using this formula:
=SUM(N(I31)+N(L31)+N(O31)+N(R31)+N(U31)+N(X31)+N(AA31)+N(AD31))
...to only add up the number cells, as next to each cell, there is a column that has text (the reason for the "N(--:--)" is because depending on criteria, some of these cells print blank).
I just added 50 more columns that need to be added to the formula listed above and I will need to repeat this a dozen times. It will be much easier (and tidier) to be able to do something like this:
=SUM(N(I31:CL31)EXCLUDING CELLS THAT CONTAIN TEXT.
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".
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.
how to enter data in non-adjacent cells using a fill command.
Here is what I am trying to do:
in the column, I am holding ctrl button to select every 10th cell down the sheet. I need to enter a date in every selected cell that is exactly 7 days apart, i.e., 11/7/08 then 11/14/08 then 11/21/08, etc.... but no other dates or data.
I have tried to figure out a way to do this other than manually, but am confounded.
Is there a way to delete comments in a selected range of blank cells?
View 7 Replies View RelatedWhen adding a comment I check for an existing comment, if exist then delete and add new comment and some text in that cell. This works as long as the cell has an existing comment; other wise it advances to the "Else" where I thought I would be entering a comment and text in an empty cell. Why does my macro treat an empty cell as if it has a comment?

I have a cell comment on a series of columns and want to show only one column at a
time. For this reason I hide the ones not used, but the cellcomment doesnt move and
is still at the original place. How I move the comment when the original colums between are hidden ?
I try to edit comments in cells of a certain column and nothing happens. I am able to edit other comments throughout the spreadsheet, but when I select "edit comments" for these particular cells, no edit box is displayed for editing. It worked fine a couple of weeks ago.

I selected only 1 value of cells
I want to add comments to all the 1 value cells by selecting all 1 by shift + ctl +down
I can put same comments to all the cells?
If you want to have the same comment applied on many cells you could apply it to a single cell, then use the copy and paste special tool bar commands (under Edit) In Paste Special select "Comments" but value is going of that cell.

How can I modify this sub to skip cells that are empty? I only want cells that are populated within the range to actually display the comment indicator, with the cell text transferred to the comment.
Ideally, I'd also like the text to be moved (not just copied) to the comment and leave an 'X' in the cell, in place of the text that was transferred to the comment, but I'll settle for the action above.
I am having trouble writing a macro to do the following. Someone had created a spreadsheet a while back that highlighted the cell green and inserted a comment with the person's name and date/time if they changed anything in that cell. The macro works great, but I need a macro to undo the changes.
I would like a macro that will remove all comments from the sheet and revert the cells back to their original color. Since the cells encompass many colors, at the very least, I would like the macro to remove the comments and make the cells the default shading (white).
I noticed that I have several (@200) comments that when visible displays Cell X Commented by (my work user number) in the lower left corner of the excel window. I'm not sure how to change this so its the company name instead of my work number. I'd be using a loop to go through each comment but need help with the line that would change this part.
View 8 Replies View RelatedI have a report where, month in month out, i have to append columns on the right, to give a Year to date figure. Now there are many rows with different numbers but one of the columns is call [NOTES]. This is where the user can provide commentry on the weekly figures.
Now whats getting annoying is i have to copy this commentry and then create a comments box then paste the text in there and finally, hide the comment.
So what i want to be able to do is be able to Copy the cell, then, have a right click menu button saying "Paste As Comment", so it paste the selected cells contents into a comment and hides it.
I have a worksheet where some cells contain a comment. I don't know beforehand how many of those cells are present, nor their address. I want to write a macro that stores the values of only the cells that contain a comment into an array (of course the size of the array is not known beforehand). This should be done by scanning through those special cells in a given order (by rows, by columns, whatever).

is it possible to compare two sets of data (can be numerica or alpha) and produce a different outcome comments.
Attached workbook might explain better.
A sheet, compose of groups of 9 items and their corresponding qty. I need to have the same serial no. be commented on each items of the same group. I am doing in this mechanical way:
1. add comment of serial no. on the first item of group,
2. copy and paste, with paste special>>comments, on the remaining items of the same group,
3. Repeat this sequences on the other groups, which means hundreds.
Other than these tedious procedures, is there any better way?
I am in need of a macro that will copy the text from A1, and paste it to a comment on every cell that contains text within sheet 1.

I'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.
I really appreciate help from the excel gurus and expert here on my little problem. I'm rarely using excel and have a very little knowledge on VBA programming.In short, I've been requested to develop a shift schedule for my department that can automate the shift staff schedule on the monthly basis.
I've created two worksheet of which the first worksheet is represent as master data list (INPUT Worksheet) that contain with formulas. While the other worksheet is the automated shift data (REPORT Worksheet) that linked from the master data list (INPUT Worksheet).
Attached herewith is a sample of my work. As you can see,I wanted to copy comments from the input worksheets (on DUTY column) so that it will then automatically appears or updated in the shift schedule. Whenever the dropdown selection change, the data will change accordingly. On the REPORT worksheet, each cells, range D14:AH38 are referring to DUTY column month by month. I'm able to link it but it fails to copy over the comments as well. I believe that macro can resolve this, can someone help me on this?
I have been given the following code and it works great. I now need to adapt it to the following scenario: In the attached sheet, the user has to select either, "Suburban" or "Squad" in row 5. If the user selects, "Suburban" I need this script to compare the values they enter in a given row to the value in column "B".
If the user selects, "Squad" I need this script to compare the values they enter in a given row to the value in column "C".
Look at row 48, for example. If the user enters, "Suburban" in cell D5 then the value they enter in cell D48 should equal "1". If it does not equal "1" then it should proceed with the adding of a comment. Conversely, if the user enters, "Squad" in cell D5 then the value the enter in cell D48 should equal "2". If it does not equal "2" then it should proceed with the adding of a comment.
making a macro that will scan for duplicates, length & empty cells.
I have the sample file below that does conditional formatting but it doesnt help as much because I want to show the reason for the highlight's on a comment instead.
sample file : [url]
file that might help out: [url]
checks would be:
column A - duplicates and/or length should not be over 100 characters
column B - duplicates
column F - should only contain 2 comma's(or 3 keywords)
all columns - check if no entries are found(empty cells)
In the Date function if you take 31/03/2007 and add 1 month to it:
=DATE(YEAR(ref),MONTH(ref)+1,DAY(ref))
you get 01/05/2007, which really isn't 1 month later. Bug or feature?
