    retrieve data entered as a note

    Good afternoon,
    I inherited a data sheet where all part serial numbers have been entered as a note, rather than in a cell. Is there
    a way I can extract the serial numbers to a different tab, or are they not usable?
    Any solution is fine.
    Please see attached sheet for an example.
    Thanks,
    GK

    Re: retrieve data entered as a note

    Using your posted workbook....
    Here is a starting point:
    • Select your worksheet
    • ALT+F11...to open the VBA editor and select your workbook from the VBA Project window
    • Insert.Module...to create a new VBA module
    • Copy the below code and paste it into that VBA module:
    Please Login or Register  to view this content.
    Now, on your worksheet, this formula, copied down, returns the comments
    E3: =getcomment(C3)

    In your workbook, E3 will display: help me 91066, 89740, 91234, 89558,

    Is that something you can work with?
