Simple comment for a cell. Functionality that has been around for decades is just gone.
Hi Per,
It depends on which version of Office you are and how do you use your file. In modern Excel what is was comments before now is called Notes; and in it are added Comments which have bit another functionality https://support.office.com/en-ie/article/insert-comments-and-notes-in-excel-bdcc9f5d-38e2-45b4-9a92-0b2b5c7bf6f8
Right click menu shows both
However, if you workbook file shared you will see only Notes
And all options are to be on ribbon

SergeiBaklanThanks Sergej. There must be at least four users world wide that have been longing for this user interface change (note: irony). But now I create the comment with Notes in the top menu but afterwards the comment is visible exactly as it used to be and can be handled efficiently. So I can cope (not at all irony). Thanks again very much.
perby123 , you are welcome.
That is still a transition period. In some versions of Excel we have only old comments, aka notes, aka annotations. New versions set them aside and now it is much more stress on new comments. Each has it's own pros and cons.
