HansVogelaar Hans I looked absolutely everywhere for this. Thank you so very much for Charing your knowledge. This VBA formula also create notes for blank cells, how can I avoid or ignore blank cells and only make notes where there are "*"
If you can also share a VBA formula to use xlookup and then copy and paste exciting notes in a range

Can you explain your second question (about XLOOKUP) in more detail?
- LizeMarieOct 27, 2022Brass ContributorOMW Hans you are absolutely awesome, made my day. Thank you.
If Column I & J & K matches Column B & C & D then it must copy only the notes in Range("L:O") to Range ("E:H"). so it must loop trough each row finding a match and past the correct notes to that matching row. So if Range("I1:K1) match Range("B10:D10") it must past only the notes of Range("L1:O1") to Range("E10:H10") ... and loops through all doing the same. hope it makes sense- HansVogelaarOct 27, 2022MVP
Does this work?
Sub CopyComments() Dim r As Long Dim m As Long Dim v As Variant Dim c As Long Application.ScreenUpdating = False m = Range("B" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row For r = 2 To m v = Evaluate("MATCH(1,(I:I=B" & r & ")*(J:J=C" & r & ")*(K:K=D" & r & "),0)") If IsNumeric(v) Then For c = 1 To 4 If Not Cells(v, c + 11).Comment Is Nothing Then Cells(r, c + 4).AddComment Text:=Cells(v, c + 11).Comment.Text End If Next c End If Next r Application.ScreenUpdating = True End Sub
- LizeMarieOct 27, 2022Brass ContributorHans you have absolutely no idea how much I appreciate this. you are so helpful and kind to do so. This is what I'm looking for, for so long and I just couldn't get my VBA code to work. Amazing. Thank you again. Just show me that there is still much to learn about VBA coding.
