Deleting Essbase Cell Comments
Be sure to complete the steps in Enabling Essbase Cell Comments.
Note:
The procedure in this topic shows you how to delete Oracle Essbase cell comments using the View Comments command and the Comment Edit dialog box in Oracle Smart View for Office. You can also delete cell comments directly in the grid, without using the Smart View interface elements in this topic.
To delete Essbase cell comments:
- Click View Comments in the Essbase ribbon (see Figure 5-15).
The Comment Edit dialog box is launched. The example in Figure 5-21 shows one comment left on the sheet, which can be removed.

- To delete the entire comment, first click in the row to highlight the editable text; for example, click in the "Oregon Coast" row to highlight it, as shown in Figure 5-22, then press the Delete key.
