Creating audio comments in a cell?

Postby Gooch » Thu Dec 15, 2011 11:54 am

What is the best way to create an audio comment in a cell, instead of a typed comment. I am tired of inserting typed comments. Either a button or something? Anyone smart enough to figure this out?

Hi and welcome to the forum!

I'm not sure that there is an entirely intuitive or easy way to do this, but you could probably achieve this using a macro and recording your sound files outside of Excel. But, that would not be a seamless thing to do and the process of creating the sound file each time would probably annoy you more than typing a comment. :?

Hi,
You can do this with a hyperlink. A hyperlink can be used to open a website or any file in your system, including sound files. A Don pointed out, the difficult part isn't creating the link but creating (and maintaining!) the sound files.

I do this for "honour and country" - much less of the latter, actually.
If I helped you, award points, plenty of them.
If I bored you, deduct points for being too long-winded. (I know, :lol)
