Tim,

The code below works, but I want it to be executed automatically when a
cell
gets a new entry. So if I click on the cell with in its comment the
number
12 and then click key 5 of the number part of the keybord and after that
of
course "enter", then I want this procedure to be executed (which means
after
execution the cell shows the number 5 and the comment shows 17. I suppose
it
will be a kind of _Change procedure, but I don't now what it should be.
Please show me the way.

Jack.

Sub AddComment()
Dim Commentval As Double
Dim cmt As Comment

On Error Resume Next
Set cmt = ActiveCell.Comment
On Error GoTo 0

If cmt Is Nothing Then
'add a comment with "0" as text
Set cmt = ActiveCell.AddComment(Text:="0")
End If

NewEntry = ActiveCell.Value

If ActiveCell.Comment.Text < "" Then
Commentval = CDbl(cmt.Text)
ActiveCell.Value = ActiveCell.Value + Commentval
Commentval = ActiveCell.Value
ActiveCell.Comment.Text CStr(Commentval)
End If

ActiveCell.Value = NewEntry

End Sub

Most likely the cell does not have a comment. You'll have to catch the
error and create one.

Dim cmt As Comment

on error resume next
Set cmt = ActiveCell.Comment
on error goto 0

if cmt is nothing then
'add a comment with "0" as text
Set cmt = ActiveCell.AddComment(Text:="0")
end if
'etc.....

Bob,

I tried, but it halts at the line
If ActiveCell.Comment.Text < "" Then
with the error message "object variable or block variable With is not
set"
(I translated from Dutch, sounds a bit clumsy I'm afraid).
What now?

Jack.

I was able to use the following code to do what you want (this had to
be
run
as a standard macro, though, putting in a Event procedure causes it
to
loop
and produce unwanted resuts).

Sub AddComment()
Dim Commentval As Double
Dim cmt As Comment
Set cmt = ActiveCell.Comment
If ActiveCell.Comment.Text < "" Then
Commentval = CDbl(cmt.Text)
ActiveCell.Value = ActiveCell.Value + Commentval
Commentval = ActiveCell.Value
ActiveCell.Comment.Text CStr(Commentval)
End If
End Sub

You could set up a procedure using the worksheet change event.
Get the comment text (do you want to automatically add one if there
isn't
one there?) and use cint() or similar to convert it to a number.
Add the current value of the cell to that, and set the comment text
to
cstr(sum_of_numbers)

Anonymous,

To my regret I found nothing on work done to comments regarding
numbers.

You or anybody else got a solution?

Jack.

hi,
not sure if this will help but Debra Dalgleish's site has
some code on comments. i haven't been there in a while but
you might try it.

Hi all,

A1 has a cell comment containing a number, say, 5 (or is
content of a
comment "text" by default?)
If I enter a value (number) in A1 (say 7) I want after
the entry the cell
content to be the sum of the original content (5) and the
entry in A1, so
after that in A1 is 7 and in the cell comment is 12.

I tried all kinds of things, succeeded in putting cell
content in comment,
also adding cell comment to cell content, but not what I
described above
(adding cell content to comment).

Your help will be appreciated.
