A cell note is a brief text annotation (up to 599 characters) that you associate with a data cell in an Essbase database. Users with access to the database can retrieve the note.
To link information that is longer than 599 characters, create an external file containing the information, and link the file to the cell. See Linking Files to Data Cells.
To create a cell note:
Open a worksheet and connect to an instance of Essbase Server.
Select Essbase, and then Retrieve.
Select a data cell.
You can link objects only to data cells and not to cells containing member names.
Select Essbase, and then Linked Objects.
In Linked Objects Browser, click Attach.
In Attach Linked Object, select Cell note from Attachment Type.
In Cell Note edit box, enter the text to store in the cell note.
Click OK.
