I am using Office 365 excel Is there away to filter Comments NOT Notes in a Column? Can be using a helper column if necessary.
I have the ability to filter Notes in a column but want to filter Comments.
Any help would be appreciated.
 

Excel Facts

How to total the visible cells?
From the first blank cell below a filtered data set, press Alt+=. Instead of SUM, you will get SUBTOTAL(9,)
By filter do you mean show only rows where a particular comment exists in a cell? Or highlight the row? Or select the row?
If it involves multiple non-contiguous rows being selected, that's not something I've done - yet.
If you want a formula, I can't help with that but I think something can be done via code. Just not sure what that something is at the moment.

This macro extracts every comment in column A and writes them to column C

VBA Code:
Sub jec()
 Dim it, x As Long
 With Range("A2", Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp))
    ReDim ar(.Rows.Count, 0)
    For Each it In .Cells
       If Not it.CommentThreaded Is Nothing Then
         ar(x, 0) = it.CommentThreaded.Text
         x = x + 1
       End If
    Next
    Range("C2").Resize(x) = ar
  End With
End Sub

Correct I am wanting to filter to show only rows that contain Comments (Not Notes) using a Macro.

For filtering as desired (column A in this example)

VBA Code:
Sub jec()
 Dim it, sp
 Set sp = Cells(99999, 1)
 
 For Each it In Range("A2", Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp))
    If it.CommentThreaded Is Nothing Then Set sp = Union(sp, it)
 Next

 sp.EntireRow.Hidden = True
End Sub

In Excel you have the option to add a Comment or Note..What I am wanting to filter is the rows with Comments.
Any suggestions?

Did you even try the codes?
It is only possible with VBA

But my codes both work for comments.
Do the cells have purple corners?
