Import Excel comments

Continuing the discussion from How to get the text inside comments in an Excel file:

Hi @victor_palacios, was there ever an update to the ticket mentioned above?
I’d prefer an option within the existing Excel nodes, or a new node, rather than R/Python solutions.

Thanks,

hi @sauberns, if you are on KNIME AP 4.7, you can give this a try:

It needs KNIME 4.7 to work though, and a known limitation is that it cannot read “threaded comments” as these aren’t supported by the available java package bundles that it uses.

Demo workflow here:

Thanks @mlauber71. I think that will be useful for my own work, and I’ll have to have a bit of a play around to see how to distribute that as a solution for our end users.
