I would like to be able to add comments to cells within a table (Sheet1 in my sample workbook). once those comments are created, i would like the text of each comment to be listed on another worksheet as text within the cells (sheet2 in my sample workbook). the only thing i could find was how to add text and create a comment for a certain cell.
View 4 RepliesI 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.

An example would be if the pull down menu was in cell A1 and as a result of the text selected to be shown in A1 resulted in a need for the text in C3 to be changed as well as the formula in cell D3 to be change which will result in a numeric answer in cell D3. Not all of the choices in cell A1 will require that the text and formula be change in cell C3 and D3.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI 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?
I have my dummy data, and I have (what I think) is how I want the data to be shown. My friend uses Google Sheets, but I prefer Excel. I am trying to convert the code because I am a stickler for excel. Typically I can convert codes some easily, but this is way beyond me.
For Column A: I want to create a list on sheet 'Setup!' based on ids!D2:D="yes". If that list has duplicate entries, I would like only the first entry to show up, but for the next entries I would like the cell to be blank. (this is important for the next step) For Column C: I want to have the corresponding dates go with the name entry. For Column D: I want to have the notes go with the corresponding date entry. (I believe I can manipulate Column C's code to do Column D myself).
I am also going to upload a data sheet, and an expected results sheet.

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 this attendance list i found(attached). it works excellent except i would like to add to its functionality.
1. at the end of each week for each student i want to be able to type progress comments
2. i would also like it so each students name can 'drop down' to basic contact info (address, contact #, emergency contact # date).
I created comments to be shown when drop down list items are selected using the helper cell and workbook change solution from Leith Ross at the thread below.
[URL]....
This works perfectly to show the comments. What I'd now like to do is delete the comment if the content of the cell is deleted.
Please see the screenshot : Excel-comments-misplaced-bug.png
when I filter my list (around 1000 records) and I want to edit a comment, the comments are at their original (unfiltered list's) place. is it solved in 2013 version ? or anyway to solve it ?
I have a VBA that can add a comment based on the cell value, however, I need it to do it for the whole worksheet and not just one cell. I am pretty new to using VBA's, so this is the best code I could find that would perform what I need. If there is a way to have it do run a vlookup, instead of me listing all the cases, that would be great as well.
VB:
Sub AddComment()
Dim strText As String
With Range("s6")
Select Case UCase(.Value)
Case "UPT": strText = "UnPaid Tardy/Late"
[Code] .....
I have a situation where textual comments are entered into a cell where the comments are supposed to begin with a date in mm/dd format. Some enter all 5 characters but some enter m / d in if appropriate to the date, e.g., 9/6 vs 09/06.
I'm trying to take the left 5 characters and compare that to the current date - 7 to ID aged comments and highlight that cell. I currently do this by populating a variable LastUpdate (dim as string) with the first 5 characters, then run this IF statement.
If LastUpdate < Date - 7 Then
Range("O" & i).Select
Selection = "Comments over 7 days old."
End If
This works find except in situations where there is a zero for the first character after the "/", such as "11/05." The code doesn't properly calculate the date and assumes it's old. "11/5" works just fine. I thought I could try translating the variable into a proper date. I "borrowed" this formula from another post herein: =DATE(2012, MID(N12,1,FIND("/",N12)-1), MID(N12,FIND("/",N12)+1,2)). This works fine as a formula to translate the characters into a date but I don't know how to do this same thing in vba.
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 created a worksheet to be used by a number of people at work and my issue is how to add sufficient instructions for some of the less tech minded users.
I have entered text in the comment box to 'assist', but would like to add either a picture WITH the text or something to the effect of "for further asistance and make the last part a hyperlink.
I need to find text within middle of a string.
Character before required text is say AAA
Character after required text is say BBB
Text required can vary in length.
Extract text and place in another column.
All text in a single column, required text not in every line. but
does repeat.
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.

I have a cell comment on a series of columns and want to show only one column at a

is still at the original place. How I move the comment when the original colums between are hidden ?
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.

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 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).

I'm trying to make a game where from a choice of 16 words the contestant has to choose four of those words that, when another word is placed before or after each word it makes a phrase.
e.g From this list of 16 words
albert
bell
[Code]....
choosing bell, bottle, print, stocking can all have BLUE placed before them to make bluebottle, blueprint etc. That would be the correct answer. Choosing their four words would be from a drop down list of all 16 words, separate cell for each list options/chosen answer. bell bottle printstockingCORRECT
There would be 4 rows in total for 4 different answers to be made from the 16 words on offer. I have tried everything to get it to work in the 5th cell but it's difficult.
