My excel is showing up with the insert comments disabled. The spreadsheets already have several comments and I just cannot add comments anymore. I need this feature too much. How do I enable this?

    This may not apply to your situation, but it worked for me:
    I received a spreadsheet via email and experienced this issue.  I noticed it was in Compatibility Mode (Excel 2003-2007).  I saved the file in .xlsx format, exited Excel, then re-opened the new version.  Comments are now enabled!

    Mine started doing this today too....  Frustraiting.

    Right click any cell and the "insert comment" option is NOT there.

      I called Microsoft support and they told me that I'd to register this question here that I would get the answer in 24 hours. Question if I received ...... NOTHING .... Simply my excel stayed like this for 2 days and last night it came back working without me doing anything.

        Same thing happened to me: unable to enter comments into Excel cells.  It seems that registering your question "here" was the answer.  How did you do that?  (I am new to this Community). Thanks.
