    Mouseover option from one sheet to different sheet

    Hello Everyone good morning,

    I am quite new to Excel specially for VBA. I have read many forums regarding my problem, unfortunately I didn't found the right one. I hope I will get the solution.

    Problem:

    I have two sheets sheet1 as 'Questions' and sheet2 as 'Explanation'.

    In Question sheet I have a question from D8:T10, So when ever user tries to move the mouse(Mouse Over)on the question in the 'Question sheet' then the answer from the Explanation sheet(C11:E17) has to popup in the question sheet. These cells are fixed and in future changes will be done within these cells. I hope everyone understood this problem!! Can anyone suggest the solution. I will attach a sample file for your reference.

    Note: I already tried insert comment option but it is not user friendly, while I am inserting the text in the inserting comment option which is not efficient. Is there any other option

    Unfortunately excel does not support mouse-over functionality beyond the comments that you have already tried.

    Anything beyond that would need a more direct action from the user (clicking the cell instead of hovering).

    With that method, I would suggest maybe creating you own comments with shapes from the Insert menu, then make them visible, perhaps for a specified time, when the user clicks the cell.

    As jason.b75 has said; Excel does not support Mouse_Over event on worksheets.

    I am not sure if this helps you but, by using a small UDF we can simulate this action as seen in the attached workbook.

    Move your mouse over the questions (don't click the cells) and see the answers ...
