Default Split data around a carriage return

No...I already tried that...it won't recognize the carriage return to break

Any other ideas?


If it does not recognize what you are entering as a carriage return, then you
are not entering the same character(s) that are in your string.

Pick your string apart with code like:

A1: Sample string
B1: =MID($A$1,COLUMNS($A:A),1)
B2: =CODE(B1)

Select B1:B2 and fill right until you are into the second line. The code or
codes in between should tell you what your system is using for a carriage
return.
