TIP - 50 : Convert note to comment in excel


Convert note to comment in excel

In excel, we have two varieties of highlighting of information –

1)   Notes - Under notes we can update the cell with a “NOTE” about a particular text to be displayed.
2)   Comments – In comments, where we can update a particular text same like note, but there is additional advantage of tracking of the comments updated by the others with the time stamp (it looks like how a mail chain having replies)

Step 1: Please select a cell and enter a comment by clicking Notes from Review tab

Step 2: Then click on “Convert to comments”, so that the note now turns into a comment.

Very helpful when we have review comments. (Preparer and reviewer concept).
