Microsoft® Office Excel® 2007 Plain & Simple

Commenting in Cells

When you and your colleagues share the responsibility for creating a workbook, you might want to add comments to some cells to suggest modifications to a formula, to ask whether a cell’s contents might be formatted differently, or to provide an updated value for a workbook’s owner to add after they verify the data. Excel 2007 marks cells with comments by placing a red flag at the top right corner, making it easy for you and your colleagues to identify which cells have additional information available. For example, you could add a comment to a sales worksheet explaining that two exceptionally large purchases pushed one hour’s sales way beyond the norm.
