Hello Forum,

Not very well-versed in Excel but I figured as an IT professional I'd be able to wrap my head around the logic. Here's my question:

I created a nifty looking calendar in Excel for purposes of keeping track of tasks done per-day on a months-long project, however the formatting of the cell shapes/sizes in traditional calendar style only displays 4-6 words clearly before being cut off, and each day has quite a list of sentences within it. I did notice that when I click on the cell, I can see much more of the sentences within the formula bar. What I'd like to do is to create that same functionality but display the data of a "day" cell I click on in a "Notes" cell (D15) at the bottom of the calendar which I made relatively larger than the others. Exactly similar to how the formula bar functions, but inside of the workbook.

Is this possible?

I didn't search this first prior to asking and I am aware that's not very good forum etiquette, so if this has been asked before, please link me and accept my apologies. Just had no idea what keywords to use in this instance.
 
Too bad I can't share my screen. I am not sure why this site won't let me paste an image.

Excel Facts

Select all contiguous cells
Pressing Ctrl+* (asterisk) will select the "current region" - all contiguous cells in all directions.
Blend the two together

Code:
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)

  Dim i As Range
  
  Set i = Intersect(Target, Range("March"))
  If Not i Is Nothing Then
    If i.Count = 1 Then
      Range("Comment1") = i.Value
    Else
      Range("Comment1") = ""
    End If
  Else
    Range("Comment1") = ""
  End If
  
  Set i = Intersect(Target, Range("April"))
  If Not i Is Nothing Then
    If i.Count = 1 Then
      Range("Comment2") = i.Value
    Else
      Range("Comment2") = ""
    End If
  Else
    Range("Comment2") = ""
  End If
  
End Sub
