vba excel - For Each cell In range - read comments - excel

Question

there.
I'm trying to retrieve comments from a pre-defined name range of cells, but I keep getting the error message for the instruction: Set c = Range("myRange").Comment.Value
Only the active workbook is open, range is there, etc.
In the meantime, a value has been assigned to c, that corresponds to very first cell of myRange.
Any ideas? thanks a lot.
Sub Test_findComments_in_range()
Dim varComment As String
Dim c As Variant
With ActiveSheet
For Each c In .Range("myRange")
Set c = Range("myRange").Comment.Value
If IsEmpty(c) Then
MsgBox "No comment found! "
GoTo jumpCycle3
Else
varComment = c.Value
MsgBox varComment, vbInformation
End If
jumpCycle3: Next
End With
End Sub

Answer 1

There is no need to go through all the cells in the range and check each one for a comment, you can use the Range.SpecialCells method with the parameter xlCellTypeComments
Sub ListComments()
Dim rng As Range
Set rng = ActiveSheet.Range("myRange")
On Error GoTo out ' handle the error that occurs if there is no cell with comments
Set rng = rng.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeComments)
On Error GoTo 0
For Each cl In rng ' iterate over all cells in rng - each of them contains a comment
MsgBox cl.Address & " : " & cl.Comment.Text, vbInformation
Next
Exit Sub
out: MsgBox "No comments in the area"
End Sub

Find Comments in a Named Range
Option Explicit
Sub FindCommentsInNamedRange()
' Reference the workbook ('wb').
Dim wb As Workbook: Set wb = ThisWorkbook ' workbook containing this code
' Reference the named range ('rg').
Dim rg As Range: Set rg = wb.Names("myRange").RefersToRange
' To reference the range's worksheet (not necessary here), you could use:
'Dim ws As Worksheet: Set ws = rg.Worksheet
Dim cell As Range
Dim cm As Comment
Dim cText As String
' Loop through the cells of the range (note 'rg.Cells')...
For Each cell In rg.Cells
' Attempt to reference the cell's comment ('cm').
Set cm = cell.Comment
' Validate the comment.
If cm Is Nothing Then
MsgBox "No comment found!", vbExclamation, _
"Comment in Cell '" & cell.Address(0, 0) & "'"
Else
' Write the comment's text to a variable ('cText').
cText = cm.Text
MsgBox cText, vbInformation, _
"Comment in Cell '" & cell.Address(0, 0) & "'"
End If
Next cell
End Sub
