Hi all,
(Using Excel 2010)

This seems like it is way to simple to not figure out but I'm struggling so please forgive me.

I am editing a worksheet set up by a previous user, I have unlocked it and can change anything I want except when I click on a cell, a description comes up next to it, I don't think this is a normal kind of comment in excel as there is no red marker in the top right of the cells and I can not delete or interact with the box in anyway other than moving it around. I think this is some kind of cell description that has been entered but have no way of finding out how to change it despite trying every combination of associated words I can think of in google.

Please tell me how I can ideally change this box but if needs be just delete it. Or pointers in which direction I should continue my quest.


Cheers!

Whats the difference between CONCAT and CONCATENATE?
The newer CONCAT function can reference a range of cells. =CONCATENATE(A1,A2,A3,A4,A5) becomes =CONCAT(A1:A5)
It sounds like some kind of code. Is the file macro enabled? Have you looked at any code?
