Enter comments disabled

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?

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.

Mine started doing the same thing today. What gives?????

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

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.

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!
