Is there a way to insert a comment in a cell?

I have a data point and would like to attach a comment to it in the cell, similar to inserting a comment in a cell in an Excel spreadsheet.  Is this possible?

Hi @acitretin,

 

What @ron_horne suggested is to use the label/unlabel option for the column to display values.

With it on you can display additional details as seen in the attached.Label/Unlabel to display values or commentsLabel/Unlabel to display values or comments

 

 

 

cheers,

Stan

You can add a color to a cell, or add a comment column:

You can also add a comment for an entire column and for an entire data table via the columnProperties->other or the data table's NewTableVariable.

In addition, one can use the comments column as a label for graphs. In which case it is possible to label just that row or as many rows you want.

Dear Ron,

Can you explain your comment more? I'm interested to link the comment to the graph. Is that possible some how to do so?
