Copy cell contents for multiple columns and put into a comment for a cell in another column
I have a daily routine that involves downloading a list that I need the cell contents of several columns to be populated into a comment for the cell in column A for the same row -- but also have the heading (row 1) for each column to preface the data populated in the column.
For the attached I'd like the following column values populated into the comments, in this order:
CUSIP (Col I)
Sec Short Name (Col L)
Trade Date (Col J)
Broker ID (Col K)
Trader Login (Col M)
Security Type (Col N)
So for A3, I'd like the comment to be populated with the following:
Repeat all the way down the list.
I'd also like it to have the ability to not breakdown if a cell value is empty.
Thank you

Hi Kevin,

Please try below:
Sub AddComments()
Dim Ws As Worksheet
Dim LR As Long
Dim Rng As Range
Set Ws = ActiveSheet
LR = Ws.Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
Set Rng = Ws.Range("A3:A" & LR)
For Each cell In Rng.Cells
Dim I As Range
Dim L As Range
Dim J As Range
Dim K As Range
Dim M As Range
Dim N As Range
Set I = cell.Offset(0, 8)
Set L = cell.Offset(0, 12)
Set J = cell.Offset(0, 10)
Set K = cell.Offset(0, 11)
Set M = cell.Offset(0, 13)
Set N = cell.Offset(0, 14)
With cell
.ClearComments
.AddComment "CUSIP: " & I.Value & " Sec Short Name: " & L.Value & " Trade Date: " & J.Value & " Broker ID: " & K.Value & " Trader Login: " & M.Value & " Security Type: " & N.Value
End With
Next
End Sub
This worked good all in all but a couple values were populating from a wrong column offset.
I'd ideally like each one to start on a new line in the comment. Is there a way to put a hard return after each value ? For instance the "Sec" (beginning of "Sec Short Name") displays after the cusip populated. I'd ideally like each one to start on a new line just for readability.
This is the change I made for the column offset:
