I came across this code to extract Comments (ie the New version):

Code:
https://www.mrexcel.com/board/threads/excel-vba-get-comment-from-cell.560025/

but it only worked for a single cell, D100 (which I know does indeed contains a Comment).


I adapted as follows by changing the range to C99:D101.

Code:
Dim varComment As String
Dim c As CommentThreaded

Dim rng As Range
Set rng = Sheet1.Range("C99:D101")

Dim rngelement As Range

For Each rngelement In rng.Cells
With rng
    On Error Resume Next
    Set c = .CommentThreaded
    On Error GoTo 0
    If c Is Nothing Then
        MsgBox "No comment", vbExclamation
    Else
        varComment = c.Text
        MsgBox varComment, vbInformation
    End If
End With
Next rngelement

but it failed to indicate cell D100 contained a Comment.

Can someone tell me what is wrong?

Thanks

What is =ROMAN(40) in Excel?
The Roman numeral for 40 is XL. Bill "MrExcel" Jelen's 40th book was called MrExcel XL.
Your With is wrong, it's looking at the entire range, not the cell as you loop through.

Thanks.

I changed it to:

Code:
Dim varComment As String
Dim c As CommentThreaded

Dim rng As Range
Set rng = Sheet1.Range("C99:D101")

Dim rngelement As Range

For Each rngelement In rng.Cells
With rngelement
    On Error Resume Next
    Set c = .CommentThreaded
    On Error GoTo 0
    If c Is Nothing Then
        MsgBox "No comment", vbExclamation
    Else
        varComment = c.Text
        MsgBox varComment, vbInformation
    End If
End With
Next rngelement

and it worked as expected.
