Hovering Over Notes No Longer Working
- Apr 18, 2022
You are right, it doesn't work on
Works with comments.
I sent a frown, that will be great if you do the same.

Thank you Steve, updating Excel account did the trick.

Steve1330 FYI this problem still persists on my Macbook. MocOS and Excel 365 are up-to-date. Indeed an annoying little bug.
- Steve1330Jul 27, 2022Brass ContributorPhil, I use a PC, and everything has been fine since my 4/29/22 note above. I suggest you do what I was advised to do, and send weekly notes via the feedback option in Excel, highlighting the fact you use Excel on a Mac and not a PC.

Mine worked through most of 2022, but sometime late 2022/early 2023, I was hit by this exact issue. I'm not on any Insider programs/builds and have confirmed the install is up-to-date as of the writing of this note. 😞
Hover-triggered display still works properly for the new threaded comments. The problem is still only with the used-to-be-called-comments-now-called-notes.
Workaround to display note: If the selected cell has a note, SHIFT-F2 opens it for editing. Press ESC 2x to close. (If the selected cell has no note, it creates one in edit mode.)
