  12. EXCEL: Adding a comment to a text box A box will appear with some things you can do... including deleting the comment.

  16. EXCEL: Adding a comment to a text box Click at the end of the Formula field.

  17. EXCEL: Adding a comment to a text box Type a plus sign... a letter N... a parenthesis open... and a parenthesis closed.

  19. EXCEL: Adding a comment to a text box When you press “Enter” Excel will add your comment to the formula...

  20. EXCEL: Adding a comment to a text box and place a little blue-green triangle in the upper left corner of the cell.

  21. EXCEL: Adding a comment to a text box The +N() function keeps your comment from affecting the formula’s actions... so the cell displays only the results of the formula. +N()

  22. EXCEL: Adding a comment to a text box Just be sure you remember to put your comment in quotes inside those parentheses. N(“”)
