Add a comment

You can tell when a cell has a comment by the green indicator.

   Note:  You can also right-click the cell, and click Insert Comment.

2. The Comments pane opens to the right of your worksheet. Type your comment and click Post.

   

   Note: You can't change the format of a comment or the default comment label.
