Excel: Using the NOTE Macro Command to Delete Cell Notes

Last reviewed: November 2, 1994
Article ID: Q46512

SUMMARY

On page 160 of the "Microsoft Excel Function Reference" version 3.0 manual, and on page 251 of the "Microsoft Excel Functions and Macros" version 2.2 manual, the first example incorrectly indicates that the following formula deletes the note attached to the active cell by not specifying any parameters:

   =NOTE()

This is not correct. Using the NOTE command with no parameters returns the message "Error in Formula." To delete the note attached to the active cell, use either of the following formulas:

   =NOTE("")

   -or-

   =NOTE(,)
