From: Jordan on 24 Mar 2010 14:07 Hi, Rather than inputting a comment in a cell in an excel worksheet, I would like to add a 1. inside a cell (which currently has a dollar value inside) and place a corresponding footnote underneath (outside the cell) which would provide an explanation. Can this be done, if not any other suggestions? This is similar to the fineprint we all see advertisements. i.e. (inside cell) 1. 1250.00 (outside cell) 1. This amount includes expenses relating to.... Thanks.
From: Russell Dawson on 24 Mar 2010 14:21 You could custom format the cell 1- $0000 You'd have to do it for each cell and footnote reference i.e. 2- $0000, 3- $0000 etc I take it that the footnotes are to be input manually yourself at the foot of the page as their name suggests and are your own explanation and not part of the problem. -- Russell Dawson Excel Student Please hit "Yes" if this post was helpful.

Rethinking this It's not going to look very pretty and could be misleading to others who are obviously going to be viewing the w/s hence the need for footnotes. Wouldn't it be more elegant of you were to introduce a column in which the references can be made. I would go for letters in any event which removes any doubt. -- Russell Dawson Excel Student Please hit "Yes" if this post was helpful.
