How do I...
Add a note or comment to a cell
What to do
- Right-click the cell.
- Choose New Note, or New Comment.
- Type your text and click away.
Good to know
- Notes are simple labels, while comments allow replies from others.
- A small mark in the corner shows that a cell has one.
The idea in general
It leaves an explanation next to the number, without changing the cell.
What I assumed
- You are using Excel on a computer. Menus can look a little different on a Mac or in a browser.
