Default splitting a cell

But if you do merge cells, please don't come back to us for sympathy when
you struggle with various Excel functions, such as sorting, filtering,
autofitting row height, etc. In general you'll find that the experts on
this group don't recommend merging cells.

Do you mean merge cells? Format/Cells/Alignment - Merge and Wrap Text.

Yeah...I understand that David. But I thought you could actually split
the
cell where there would be multiple rows. So each one of my kids's names
would
be its own cell. I did a little digging and it doesn't seem as though
that's
possible. The only suggestion I saw would be to underline the text to
make it
appear as a separate row.

Thanks David. And just confirm if you can.

I thought I could split a cell...I'm just stupid and forget how.

For example, I want to split cell C into multiple rows that are part
of
and
reference Cell B...Not in a formula or anything like that. Just in
general.
For example, my name in Cell B and then my kid's 3 names in Cell C.

Can I do this???

Thanks in advance.
