//XL,AddFootnote,1) This is footnote #1
//XL,AddFootnote,"2) Data source: Manny, Moe and Jack"
The above pair of directives would cause the following to be added to the bottom of the current sheet, below any totals:
+ Footnotes:
The actual footnotes are collapsed within the group; clicking the "+" will expand them to show:
Footnotes:
1) This is footnote #1
2) Data source: Manny, Moe and Jack
