How to add Comment to an Excel worksheet Cell

We can insert comments into Excel worksheet Cells. Comments in Excel worksheets are basically notes, used to document the data in the Cell. The most important advantags of Comment is that it stays outside the Cell data so that original data is not altered by the Comment text. Comments are very useful if many users are working on same Excel workbook, as reminders for other users. Comments can save a lot of communication time between users and can avoid confusion among users.

To insert a Comment to Excel Cell, follow these steps.

Step 1 - Right-click the Cell to which you want to insert the Comment and select "Insert Comment" from context menu, as shown in below image.

Step 2 - Enter the Comment to Excel Cell Comment box as shown in below image. Click anywhere outside the box once you finish entering the Comment text.

You can identify a Cell in Excel worksheet which has a comment in it by a small red triangle at the top-right corner of the Cell.

If you keep the mouse over the Cell which has a comment, Comment box will become visible, as shown in below image. Comments will hide automatically when mouse pointer is moved out.

Comments can be managed from Excel Ribbon. Below image shows "Comments" Group from Excel Ribbon's "Review" Tab, which has commands to manage Comments.
