If I'm not wrong then you are struggling with COMMENTS,,, do this,,, select the cell then right Click & from the menu find Hide/Unhide Comment,, hit once sets the comment appears (if is hidden) another sets comments disappear ( if is Un-hidden) .
- FencoteMar 23, 2021Copper ContributorRajesh_Sinha Thanks for the reply. I am aware of the menu that appears when you highlight a cell and 'right click'. The issue is that the menu appears when I 'right-click' but the options to Add / Edit / Delete both Notes and Comments has disappeared from the menu. - Rajesh_SinhaMar 24, 2021Iron ContributorYou may try this as a trouble shooter: Try this VBA Macro: - To open the VB Editor press Alt+F11.
- Insert a new module from Insert then Module.
- Copy and Paste this code.
 Sub ShowCommandButtons() Dim bar As CommandBar For Each bar In Application.CommandBars bar.Reset Next End Sub- Save the WB as Macro Enabled *.xlsm.
- Press F5 to run the Macro.
 N.B. - Back to sheet & insure that the Comment/Note commands have been restored or not.
- Remember Comments is available with every version of Excel but the Note is with higher versions only.
 
- Rajesh_SinhaMar 24, 2021Iron ContributorIt's unusual activity since Insert Comments & then others are built in commands,,, one you try SHIFT+F2 ,,,, I'm sure this will works.- SUTHAHAR_PALANISAMYMay 15, 2023Copper ContributorYes. it is working. Thanks Mr. Rajesh.
