Hi All,

I'm trying (and failing) at getting excel to automatically insert a Note based on a specific cell value.

i have my conditional formatting set up so that when a WBS code is inserted it changes to a specific pattern/colour, that is working fine.

what i want it to do is to insert a note based on that cell value to show a name when you hover over the cell.

so for example;

Cell Value = "PF1" - insert note "First Name, Last Name" into that cell

Cell Value = "CH1" - Insert note " first Name, Last Name" and so on...

I have a hidden sheet with my name data, im just unsure if this would be a formula, a macro or conditional formatting?

hope that makes sense,

TIA

i've tried conditional formatting based on a formula but to no avail and im not clued up enough to write a macro by hand!
 

Excel Facts

Repeat Last Command
Pressing F4 adds dollar signs when editing a formula. When not editing, F4 repeats last command.
I was referring to columns or rows that the data is located. Can't add first or last names without knowing where they are.

First Name; A3-A42
Last Name; B3-B42

Where is:
Cell Value = "PF1" - insert note "First Name, Last Name" into that cell
Cell Value = "CH1" - Insert note " first Name, Last Name" and so on...
