You can retrieve the text from a comment with a userdefined function like:
Option Explicit
Function GetComment(FCell As Range) As Variant
Application.Volatile
Set FCell = FCell(1)
If FCell.Comment Is Nothing Then
GetComment = ""
Else
GetComment = FCell.Comment.Text
End If
End Function
Then you can use it like any other function:
=getcomment(a1)
But be aware that the function won't evaluate when you just change the comment.
It'll be correct when excel recalculates. (Hit F9 to force a recalc.)
If you're new to macros, you may want to read David McRitchie's intro at:
