Cell Content Change History in Comments
Copy the following code in Thisworkbook module.
This will record any cell change in the cell comment. There is a constant at the beginning of the code module; you can set the number of records in comments (history) to be maintained. Specifying 0 means no record limit. This applies to the whole workbook.
Const gc_intMaxCmtHistory As Integer = 5 'Max Comments History allowed 'Change it to 0 to allow n no. of History items Dim PreviousValue Private Sub Workbook_SheetChange(ByVal Sh As Object, ByVal Target As Range) On Error Resume Next If Target.Cells.Count > 1 Then Exit Sub If Err.Number <> 0 Then Err.Clear Exit Sub End If If Target.Value <> PreviousValue Then Application.EnableEvents = False If Target.Value <> "" Then Call AddToComment(Target, Target.Text) End If Application.EnableEvents = True End If End Sub Private Sub Workbook_SheetSelectionChange(ByVal Sh As Object, ByVal Target As Range) On Error Resume Next If Target.Cells.Count > 1 Then Exit Sub If Err.Number <> 0 Then Err.Clear Exit Sub End If On Error GoTo 0 PreviousValue = Target.Value End Sub Sub AddToComment(rngCell As Range, strVal As String) Dim cmt As Comment Dim shpCmt As Shape Dim intCnt As Integer Dim arrSplit On Error Resume Next Set shpCmt = rngCell.Comment.Shape On Error GoTo 0 If shpCmt Is Nothing Then rngCell.AddComment strVal GoTo ExitEarly Else Set cmt = rngCell.Comment cmt.Text Text:=strVal & Chr(10) & cmt.Text End If If gc_intMaxCmtHistory = 0 Then GoTo ExitEarly arrSplit = Split(cmt.Text, Chr(10)) If (UBound(arrSplit, 1) + 1) > gc_intMaxCmtHistory Then For intCnt = LBound(arrSplit, 1) To (UBound(arrSplit, 1) - 1) If intCnt = LBound(arrSplit, 1) Then cmt.Text Text:=arrSplit(intCnt) Else cmt.Text Text:=cmt.Text & Chr(10) & arrSplit(intCnt) End If Next intCnt End If Erase arrSplit ExitEarly: Set cmt = Nothing Set shpCmt = Nothing End Sub

Extra fields
Hi, I have just found your macro and this is exactly what I am looking for. I have very little knowledge of VBA, but is it possible to add a changed date, changed time and by who (computer user name) fields to this???
Many Thanks
Andy

THANKS FOR THIS USEFUL CODE.
THERE IS LIMITATION OF THIS CODE.
THIS WORKS ONLY WHEN A CELL ENTRY IS DONE.
WHEN DATA IN THE RANGE OF CELLS IS PASTED, NO COMMENTS IS
ADDED, UNTIL THE INDIVISUAL CELL IS CHANGED, IN THE PASTED CELL.
