    Display comments in specific range of cells

    Hello everyone
    In my attachment I have merged range ("D7:H21") and In column A I have some cells which have comments ..
    All what I need to do is to display the comments to the merged range ..
    I have this code in worksheet selection change
    Please Login or Register  to view this content.
    But first I have to select the cell so as to show the comment in the target merged range
    second when roll over the cell which has comment , the comment appears next to it so the comment appears twice (once when roll over the cell and after selecting the cell the comment appears in the target merged range)
    Third I need to resize the displayed comment so as to fit the target merged range
    Finally if possible I need to execute that without the need of selecting cell .. if possible just when roll over the cell ..

    Hope it is clear
    Thanks advanced for any help

    this was rather painful to find information about

    its not exactly how you wanted it with the merged cell but see if this works for you instead

    Re: Display comments in specific range of cells

    Thank you very much for this gift..it's fantastic ..
    Just two remaining points :
    Point 1 to get rid of the original comment appeared when roll over the cells ..
    Point 2 to do the task using the roll over cells method ..
    Thanks a lot for this great help

    Re: Display comments in specific range of cells

    point 1 you can toggle the comment visible

    point 2 is a completely different ball game and you would need to rethink the design
    if you google mouseover macro vba you will get some ideas on where to head
    i wouldnt want to start anything on it until you are sure you want to head down that road as it is rather extensive to setup

    have a google around on what exactly you want to do with it

    Re: Display comments in specific range of cells

    Thanks for reply again
    as for toggling the comment visible ..it shows the comment itself to be seen on the sheet if show & hide the comment if we select hide but this is not a solution for that point .. I need t get rid of the default comment in my issue (that's even if we roll over the cell by mouse just the chart to appear with the comment but not the cell)
    Hope it is clear

    Re: Display comments in specific range of cells

    did you take my advice in researching the solutions?

    http://optionexplicitvba.blogspot.co...-in-excel.html
    http://www.mrexcel.com/forum/excel-q...ouse-over.html
    https://www.atlaspm.com/toms-tutoria...o-run-a-macro/

    3 very different ways of tackling the problem all require 3 different ways of setting up

    i profess i looked at the first one it looks great and probably something you may want to do ....but i have no idea how it works in the back end and i dont want to spend so much time deconstructing it

    i had a play around with the 3rd one i think it looks promising however you need to restrict the view and i dont know if this is OK with your file

    Re: Display comments in specific range of cells
