    Hi.


    Got some spreadsheets that have cells with information stored in the comments. Is there a formula/function that I can use which will extract the text from the comment and populate it into a cell?

    There is too much to undertake manually.


    Thanks.

    DId you find a function @funkey_money?

    If not you can add a macro/function that does it 

    REM Example to read a cells comments
Function myReadComment(incell As Variant) As String
		myReadComment = ThisComponent.CurrentController.ActiveSheet.getCellRangeByName(incell).getAnnotation().getString()
End Function

    To use it to get the comments of cell A1 use

    =myReadComment("A1")

    @croo - no I didn't, but thanks for that. I'll store it off for next time.
