You can also use Data Validation for the comments - it's one of its purposes in life. ;)

Hi<br />
<br />
I'm using Excel 2007. I've a s/s my application users complete and email when they wish to onboard a new user. <br />
<br />
I was looking at <a href="https://signup.bigfilebox.com/signup" rel="ugc">https://signup.bigfilebox.com/signup</a>&nbsp;and like how when a user clicks on a field the cell border changes. Also for some fields (login name) a blue pop up appears with a verbose explanation<br />
<br />
I was wondering how can I do both of these in Excel? (1) for defined cells, if they are active the border changes to a colour i've defined and (2) if certain fields are selected a pop-up appears to the right of the cell with a text destruction. It needs to be a pop-up as the cell(s) to the right may be populated by other things. It disappears as soon as the cell looses focus<br />
<br />
Thanks

Microsoft Excel topics include formulas, formatting, VBA macros and user-defined functions, and everything else related to the spreadsheet user interface, including error messages.

Microsoft Excel

A spreadsheet is an interactive computer application program for organization, analysis and storage of data in tabular form. Spreadsheets developed as computerized simulations of paper accounting worksheets. The program operates on data represented as cells of an array, organized in rows and columns. Each cell of the array may contain either numeric or text data, or the results of formulas that automatically calculate and display a value based on the contents of other cells.

Spreadsheets

Programming includes both the specifics of the language you’re using, like Visual Basic, .NET, Java and others, but also the best practices in user experience and interfaces and the management of projects, version control and development. Other programming topics are related to web and cloud development and system and hardware programming.
