I am understanding it correctly
1. On day 1, you get a report with some comments
2. On day 2, you get a new report with some newer data. Howerver that new book also has information about items from day 1, but comments are now updated.
3. You want sort of running "comments" log
It might be easier to answer you by looking at some sample book. But on surface it looks like you would need a macro.
1. check in newer item was in previous workbook
2. if found, copy the comments and paste in new book
3. if not found, no action
Depending on rows, you can also look into using some formula (may be VLOOKUP)

That's exactly what I'm looking to do! Just can't figure out the coding...

First thing that is a must, is some way to uniquely identify the items in two workbook to match up items in the two work books. Since it is a system generated workbooks, I am presuming that's not an issue. Other issue is that next day, previous day's workbook must be available. I am guessing, no issues in that too.
You can use vlookup for matching.
Do this
1. Open excel.
2. Start macro recorder
3. Open day 1 workbook
4. Open day 2 workbook
5. In day 2 workbook, pull a sample comment from day 1 workbook using "VLOOKUP" or something that would work for you
6. Stop the macro
7. Paste the resulting macro back here
