    Function to return comment from a cell, or null string if no comment

    Hi,

    This seems like it should be easy, but I'm struggling with it. I'm trying to make a function which will return a comment from a specified cell, or a null string if the cell doesn't have a comment. I wrote this, and it returns the actual comment fine, but it's returning a #VALUE error instead of the desired null string when applied to a non-commented cell:

    I know that I can use "IfError" on worksheets, but I need this to work inside another sub. So it needs to return the blank string.

    Thanks a lot for reading!

    Thanks so much, that's working great. I didn't know about On Error.
