"New Note" missing in Excel

Question

I'm working in Excel with Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2021, updated with Microsoft 365.

For school purposes, I need to be able to add/insert comments and notes to a cell.

Unfortunately, I only have access to comments. So, I can't add a note.

It's not available when I click right on a cell or in the "Review" tab.

I've tried to:

• Open a new workbook
• Update my program
• Open my doc in Excel safe
• Repair Microsoft 365 in Control Panel
• Checked in File - Options - Advanced in which there is only the mention of comments, no note
• In Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications, I've implemented the workaround stated in https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/missing-new-comment-and-new-note-from-excel-s-context-menu-d92fac0d-1d14-4fa2-a597-a880e776d177

1. Open the Visual Basic Editor (VBE) by pressing Alt+F11.
2. Insert a new module from Insert> Module.
3. Copy and paste the following code into the empty module pane on the right: Sub ShowButtonsAgain()
      Dim bar As CommandBar
      For Each bar In Application.CommandBars
            bar.Reset
      Next
   End Sub
4. Press F5 to run the code.
5. Exit back to Excel by pressing Alt+Q, and verify that the Comment and Note options have been restored.

Nothing has worked.

Does anyone have a fix?

Thank you so much for your attention and participation.

Answer 1

I did Unprotect Sheet, and then I could add Notes again. After Protect Sheet again only add Comment possible … 🤔
