It remains an interesting idea. I've had no further interest in it until
now.

I haven't addressed this problem yet, because it's a multiple-part routine.
It requires chart events to detect a mouseover on the chart, it requires
parsing of the chart data to determine which cell contains the data point's
value, and it requires reading and displaying of the comment.

Two years ago Mike P. from KC asked:
"Is it possible to have a data cell's comment (which shows up on
mouse-over
of
the red triangle in the upper right of the cell) also show up on
mouse-over
of the data point on a chart that takes a data point or points from a
"commented on" cell(s)? If so, how can you do it? "

The only reply was from Jon Peltier: "This isn't a native Excel
capability,
but it's an interesting idea, and one that could be accomplished using
VBA."

Does anyone know if this has been done yet? If so how could I get that
macro?
