I have a workbook to which I want to have a beforesave run in which I delete both comments and highlights, I have not been able to achieve it in the last few weeks, I've searched for possible solutions among other co workers, I was suggested the tracking system inside excel but this is a worksheets is based on an excel table. so far I have the following for removing the highlights and it works well, but I would like to include a way to remove the comments as well

Code:
Private Sub Workbook_BeforeSave (ByVal SaveAsUi As Boolean, Cancel As Boolean)
Workbooks("Tracking GB Calculator").Activate
Sheets("Tracking List").Select
Range("C3:C2417").Interior.Color = XlNone

End Sub

Any help is greatly appreciated
 

Excel Facts

When did Power Query debut in Excel?
Although it was an add-in in Excel 2010 & Excel 2013, Power Query became a part of Excel in 2016, in Data, Get & Transform Data.
Try...

Code:
Private Sub Workbook_BeforeSave(ByVal SaveAsUi As Boolean, Cancel As Boolean)
    Dim rngComments As Range
    Dim rngCell As Range

    Workbooks("Tracking GB Calculator").Activate
    Sheets("Tracking List").Select
    Range("C3:C2417").Interior.Color = xlNone
    
    On Error Resume Next
    Set rngComments = Range("C3:C2417").SpecialCells(xlCellTypeComments)
    On Error GoTo 0
    
    If Not rngComments Is Nothing Then
        For Each rngCell In rngComments
            rngCell.Comment.Delete
        Next rngCell
    End If
End Sub

However, here's an alternative, which doesn't require to activate or select...

Code:
Private Sub Workbook_BeforeSave(ByVal SaveAsUi As Boolean, Cancel As Boolean)
    Dim rngComments As Range
    Dim rngCell As Range

    With Workbooks("Tracking GB Calculator").Sheets("Tracking List")
        .Range("C3:C2417").Interior.Color = xlNone
        On Error Resume Next
        Set rngComments = .Range("C3:C2417").SpecialCells(xlCellTypeComments)
        On Error GoTo 0
        If Not rngComments Is Nothing Then
            For Each rngCell In rngComments
                rngCell.Comment.Delete
            Next rngCell
        End If
    End With
End Sub

Hope this helps!
