VBA and comments

Comments in Excel are a convenient way to leave notes about the results of the calculations you made or otherwise explain your work within the worksheet. VBA allows you to easily add and delete comments. The following text will describe how to create programs by which you add or delete comments from within an active cell.

Change of comment’s appearance

Comments are graphic objects and therefore we can change their appearance. Why should we do it? Perhaps to be original, that the reports we made look different from the others? In this case, we can change the form of comments. And then, we can change the style of the text in the comment or the color of its background. Let’s show you how to comment with certain comments on certain parts of the report!

Using comments

More people working together on one document is a common practice. Sometimes it is necessary to leave a comment for harmonization of work with other users or easier understanding of the data and procedures during the budget creation. The comment should be visible, include the name of the person who commented on content and can, if necessary, be easily removed from the screen or not printed along with the data in the tables.
