Hide Specific Comments in Excel - Comments Will Still Display on Hover

Author:
Hide specific comments in Excel with this macro. Comments are still visible on hovering over the cell that contains the comment. The in cell comment will just not be visible by default. The real benefit of this macro is to hide a comment that has been previously made to appear by default within the Excel spreadsheet. Hiding a comment in Excel using this method is the same as changing the comment's display properties back to default, the way in which comments are displayed when you first create or insert them.

To use this macro, you only need to replace A1 with the reference of the cell that contains the comment which you want to hide.

Where to install the macro:  Module
