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.
 
Maybe that's because there are no cells in column c that have comments? At least not that I can see in what you provided for download.
EDIT - more bizarre - there's no code that I can see in your workbook.
#2 ok, I see comments now, but no code. The borders make it very had to see the indicators.

Excel Facts

Why does 9 mean SUM in SUBTOTAL?
It is because Sum is the 9th alphabetically in Average, Count, CountA, Max, Min, Product, StDev.S, StDev.P, Sum, VAR.S, VAR.P.
I've run out of editing time on the prior post.

So dumb me - for the last 20 years or so, I'd click alt+i+m and what popped up was a comment box. When I did that in my test sheet, the code worked on those comments. What I have in my sheet is now called "notes" as of version 365. Now "comments" are threads of some sort.
I will have to see what I can learn about that, but first I'll try my code, which for some reason, I don't see in either of your sheets. If I put "notes" in my sheet, then it makes no sense why my "comments" code worked on that.

Your TestComments2 hides the rows with Notes. How can this be modified to hide the Rows without Notes. For my future use?

What you have are termed CommentsThreaded, so try
VBA Code:
Sub TestComments()
Dim Lrow As Long, i As Long

Lrow = Sheets("WIP-SUMMARY").Cells(Rows.Count, "C").End(xlUp).Row
For i = 2 To Lrow
    If Not Range("C" & i).CommentThreaded Is Nothing Then
       ' Debug.Print Rows(i).Address
        Rows(i).EntireRow.Hidden = True
    End If
Next

End Sub

Then I guess remove Not from the test:
If Range("C" & i).Comment Is Nothing Then
Rows(i).EntireRow.Hidden = True

I tried the other codes you were given but those did strange things, like hide all the rows up to around 325 so not sure what's going on there. I should have looked into CommentThreaded way back then but I missed the clues.

Solution
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

This code works.

Your code worked I just had to modify and remove the Not

If Range("C" & i).CommentThreaded Is Nothing Then
' Debug.Print Rows(i).Address
Rows(i).EntireRow.Hidden = True

Thanks Again.
