Excel for Apple

Question

Suddenly I am no longer able to add a Note to a cell. That item just stopped appearing.

Answer 1

Is this the case in all Excel files or just one in particular? If only the one file is it in the .xls or .xlsx file type?

What are now called Notes formerly were Comments. When MS introduced New Comments the old Comments were eliminated & [\by popular demand] were reintroduced as Notes.
