Is there a way to track comments via a formula? I am trying to create a table which automatically tells how many comments are open and resolved. Is there a way to do that? ---

Unfortunately this is not possible. Maybe someday it will be, but not at the time. You could build a commenting system yourself with a separate table. Not as convenient as the built-in comments but those could be accessible with formulas. 2026 Update: Still no official way, but I built a workaround: > [@MEGA TRICK: Extract Comments into a table! (again)](https://connect.superhuman.com/t/mega-trick-extract-comments-into-a-table-again/60951): > > Extracting doc comments into a regular table that one can sort through has been a pretty common request since [circa 2020](https://connect.superhuman.com/t/is-there-a-way-to-reference-row-comments/13280). It’s 2026 already and there’s still neither an API nor a formula to access those document comments. A while ago [I made an attempt](https://connect.superhuman.com/t/beta-comments-pack/39015/9) at creating a solution for this. However, the way it worked back then was extremely cumbersome and hacky. It would require you to share your doc with me, and then my server would read its raw binary data, decode it, and extract comments from that.… ---
