Feb 11 at 02:03 AM | 93 Views | Last edit Feb 11 at 04:28 AM 3 rev.

Hi, is it possible to get a comment text of a cell using abap ole object?

I already read this:

https://archive.sap.com/discussions/thread/3777521

but it's addcomment. I want read or get comment.

I tried with

DATA: obj_erange TYPE ole2_object,
obj_ecomment TYPE ole2_object.

* CALL METHOD OF application 'Range' = obj_erange
* EXPORTING
* #1 = 'A1'
* #2 = 'A1'.

CALL METHOD OF worksheet 'Cells' = h_cell
EXPORTING #1 = 1 #2 = 1.
m_message.
CALL METHOD OF worksheet 'Cells' = h_cell1
EXPORTING #1 = 1 #2 = 1.
m_message.

CALL METHOD OF worksheet 'RANGE' = obj_erange
EXPORTING #1 = h_cell #2 = h_cell1.
m_message.

CALL METHOD OF obj_erange 'Select'.

CALL METHOD OF obj_erange 'Comment' = obj_ecomment.

CALL METHOD OF obj_ecomment 'COPY'.

CALL METHOD cl_gui_frontend_services=>clipboard_import
IMPORTING
data = excel_tab
EXCEPTIONS
cntl_error = 1
error_no_gui = 2
not_supported_by_gui = 3
OTHERS = 4.

But, it was not work.

Please, let me know.

I searched at

https://docs.microsoft.com/

but, I couldn't find solution.

CALL METHOD OF obj_erange 'Comment' = obj_ecomment.

This is failed, too.

How can I get comments in worksheet ???

Somebody help me, please !!!!!! OTL

    You should explain what means "it doesn't work" (which line of code returns the error code...)

    By using the Excel macros (alt+F11), this VBA code works, just translate it to ABAP:

    Set cell = Cells(1, 2)
Text = cell.Comment.Text

    So, I guess you have 2 main errors :

    1) the worksheet object doesn't have any RANGE method. Anyway you don't need it because CELLS is a range object !

    2) you forget the TEXT property : don't copy the COMMENT object, do :

    DATA comment_text TYPE c LENGTH 255.
GET PROPERTY OF obj_ecomment 'text' = comment_text.

    PS: you don't need the clipboard too.
