This is just an example that you can modify to meet your needs.

Assume that A10 contains a formula that counts the number of failed calls.

Assume that Z100 contains the reason.

The following code monitors cell A10 and if it becomes 6, a comment is
inserted:

Private Sub Worksheet_Calculate()
Dim c As Comment
Set ra = Range("A10")
v = ra.Value
ra.ClearComments
Set rc = Range("Z100")
If v = 6 Then
ra.AddComment
ra.Comment.Visible = False
ra.Comment.Text Text:=rc.Value
End If
End Sub


Because it is worksheet code, it is very easy to install and use:

1. right-click the tab name near the bottom of the window
2. select View Code - this brings up a VBE window
3. paste the stuff in and close the VBE window

If you save the workbook, the macro will be saved with it.

To remove the macro:

1. bring up the VBE windows as above
2. clear the code out
3. close the VBE window

This cell has a numerical value in it. The field is "Failed Calls". So if we
have 6 failed calls in January I want to mouseover the 6 to display the
reasons for the 6 failed calls

Hi Chris:

Does the cell have a formula or is the value entered ?

I am creating a service managers report. It will have a cell for MONTHLY
FAILED CALLS. If the number in this cell is 6 then I want to be able to do a
mouseover of this number and have a display of the the reasons for these
failures - the reasons for failures are more detailed on another workbook so
I would want to reference these.

Basically I want to display results from another workbook using mouseover
effect. Is this possible? Where do I start?
