cell comment

Excel Facts

Whats the difference between CONCAT and CONCATENATE?
The newer CONCAT function can reference a range of cells. =CONCATENATE(A1,A2,A3,A4,A5) becomes =CONCAT(A1:A5)
Hi --

Bit late this

No formula i know of will do this, VBA can list comments to a txt file or doc or cell i guess

Does this help, once did some work on that..

Hi firuz

Here is a Custom function that should do it. To use it Open the VBE (ALt+F11) go to insert>module and paste in this:

Function CommentText(rCellWithComment As Range)
CommentText = _
WorksheetFunction.Clean(rCellWithComment.Comment.Text)
End Function

Then just use it like:

=CommentText(A1)

Where A1 has a comment

Hi Jack

There is no doubt some code I could include that would do so but it would be at the sacrafice of re-calulation speed. I think UDF's are slow enough already and like array formulas can cause more problems than they solve. Unfortunately most users discover this after the fact.

Best way would be to simply Wrap text to suit the cell size.
