Add a comment to an Excel cell

Use jetformat excel comment to add a comment to an Excel cell.

By Jetformat

Attach feedback to an exact sheet and cell address. A comment preserves the cell value and records a separate note.

Steps

  1. Start with a local XLSX. Replace the sample paths and identifiers with your own.
  2. Run the command below. Save to a new output path so the source remains available for comparison.
  3. Check the result as described below before using it in another job.
jetformat excel comment finance.xlsx --sheet Summary --cell A2 --text 'check qty' -o finance-updated.xlsx

Options for this task

Option Meaning
--author Comment author (default “Jetformat”)

--output Output XLSX path (required)
--sheet Worksheet name (required)
--text Comment text (required)

Check the result

Notes and limits

Writing an Office document uses one credit per command. See the billing guide for the current rules.

The examples keep the original file. Add --force only when you intend to overwrite an existing output. Run jetformat excel comment --help to compare options with your installed version.

See the excel command reference for the surrounding workflow.
