    transferring comments to a neighbouring cell

    I have a spreadsheet with lots of comments and have decided that I would prefer to have the contents of the comments in a cell in a neighbouring column. Is there a way that I can transfer all the comments without copy and pasting them seperately. Thanks

    Without code, I think this works
    1. Highlight all the cells you have comments in that you want in the new column. Copy
    2. Go to the first cell in the range where you want to copy the comments.
    3. Paste Special > Comments
    4. Go back to original cells, highlight them, right click and Delete Comments.

    Does that work for you?

    substitute commas with semi-colons if your region settings requires
