Hello everyone,
This is my first post/question.
I am a novice beginner who has taught myself.
I have a code that does what I want it to do BUT......
When the macro is run the text box does not clear when cell contents are cleared.
I would also like for the macro to run automatically when any cell in the range C8:C82 is selected.
Can someone edit this code or come up with a new one or different method?
Thank you.
VBA Code:
Sub HoverCellShowContents_Text()
    Dim row_no As Integer
    For row_no = 8 To 83
         With Cells(row_no, 3)
                If ActiveSheet.Cells(row_no, 3).Value <> "" Then
                    .ClearComments
                    .AddComment
                    .Comment.Visible = False
                    .Comment.Text Text:=Cells(row_no, 3).Value
                    .Comment.Shape.ScaleWidth 3, msoFalse, msoScaleFromTopLeft
                    .Comment.Shape.ScaleHeight 5, msoFalse, msoScaleFromTopLeft
                End If
            End With
        Next
End Sub

Format cells as date
Select range and press Ctrl+Shift+3 to format cells as date. (Shift 3 is the # sign which sort of looks like a small calendar).
Hello all,
I've worked on this some more.
I am very SLOWLY trying to learn code but for now I have to find the majority of what I use already written by someone else.
I have tried something different to what I originally posted and I think you'll see that in the mini-sheet so no need to paste it here???
I have tried to include a sample of what I'm trying to do below in the mini-sheet.
Independently, the two codes in the Workbook do exactly what I want them to.
Here is what I am trying to accomplish.
Dropdown:
1. I would like to make multiple selections from the dropdown either all at once (which works) or the ability to build on the list at any time as I go back and forth between cells. Right now it starts over if I do that.
2. Ideally I would like to make multiple selections and the list not disappear (pick and scroll) but that's not a huge deal.
3. I would like for the list to not be able to add duplicates and remove a choice if I click on it a second time.
Comment Label:
1. Keep up with the ever changing contents of the cell (which right now it seems to be doing).

This may be asking a lot but I've tried for several days and I'm so low-level with all of this I need help.

I would also WELCOME any suggestions on a totally different approach to make all this function better.
