cell comment
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. Jack Sons The Netherlands |

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) tim. -- Tim Williams Palo Alto, CA "Jack Sons" wrote in message ...

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 "Tim Williams" wrote: You could set up a procedure using the worksheet change event.

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).

Tanks Tim,
But see my response to Bobs answer. Jack. "Tim Williams" <saxifrax at pacbell dot net schreef in bericht ... When used in an event procedure you could do this: application.enableevents=false 'do your update application.enableevents=true But make sure if there's any error in the code you re-enable event handling in the error handler. A slightly better approach (I think) is to use a procedure-level flag to prevent "reentry" sub object_event() static bInProgress as boolean if bInProgress then exit sub bInProgress = true 'do stuff which might trigger object_event bInProgress = false end sub This way you're not interfering with other events you might still want to fire.

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

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.
