Hi All

I have a workbook, and I have included comments throughout the workbook symbolised with "xxxFH: comment", in which the comment varies depending on what I'm trying to comment on in that specific row. I've got a lot of them throughout the workbook.

I've basically included an additional sheet called "COMMENTS" and what I'd like to do is to build a Macro that would search all cells that contain the value (including but not exclusively) "xxxFH" and paste the cells into this sheet. There are a lot of xxxFH comments at the moment, so I would like to be able to paste all of these xxxFH comments in a column (consecutive row order) in the COMMENTS sheet. If possible, it would also be really great if instead of just pasting the values, I would be pasting the cell which links directly to the referenced xxxFH cell, so I can CTR: + [ to the relevant xxxFH cell in the relevant worksheet.

I've added a mini sheet to show what exactly I'm looking for.

4xxxFH: please deleteMy idea is to be able to find xxxFH comments throughout the workbook, and paste it like this, not just cell values, but also referencing/linking the cell on where it is currently located.
5xxxFH: replicateI have kept these comments in the same sheet at the moment only for example purposes, but in a realistic environment, these comments would be in another sheet
