Can Comment in a cell be changed as the content in another cell ??
Saved from a previous post:
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: http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/getstarted.htm Amit Kumar Baidyaka wrote: Hi, I have a file with hundereds of card number with their corresponiding cell with relative info.

Can Comment in a cell be changed as the content in another cel
After you read David McRitchie's notes, what were your specific questions.
I'm not sure I know where to start. Short course: Open your workbook. Hit alt-f11 to get to the VBE (where macros/UDF's live) hit ctrl-r to view the project explorer Find your workbook. should look like: VBAProject (yourfilename.xls) right click on the project name Insert, then Module You should see the code window pop up on the right hand side Paste the code in there. Now go back to excel. Into a test cell and type: =getcomment(a1) Amit Kumar Baidyaka wrote: Hi Peter, Could u please simplify what u have written, as I could not implement the same.Thanks, Amit.
