I have 2 excel sheets in the same workbook; a live edited sheet and a master sheet. I am looking to update comment history by comparing the live and master file and if they do not match, concatinate together and replace the master comment. Right now I manually have to concatinate in excel then copy and paste to replace the comments for 24,000 rows.
Note: I did try a macro however this is stored on and edited on a sharepoint which does not allow macros unless the file is downloaded
