Bob,
Scratch that syntax error - just had to move the line over.
However, we're still not making any changes to the sheet.

Columns A - D are populated, with about 400 or so rows.
Column D has the values with carriage returns.

As the before sheet only has one row, I assume that the multiple

Try this
Sub BreakOut()
Dim i As Long
Dim cLines As Long
Dim aryItems
aryItems = Split(Cells(1, "D").Value, Chr(10))
cLines = LBound(aryItems) + UBound(aryItems)
If cLines 1 Then
Range("A1:C1").Copy Destination:=Range("A2:A" & cLines + 1)
For i = UBound(aryItems) To LBound(aryItems) Step -1
Cells(i + 1, "D").Value = aryItems(i)
Next i

I'll certainly try:
Befo
A B C D
abc
def
1 xyz 123 456 ghi
After:
A B C D
1 xyz 123 456 abc
2 xyz 123 456 def
3 xyz 123 456 ghi
Note that the "before" sheet has only one row.
Thanks,

Sorry, bear with me, I am still not getting this precisely.
Can you post example data and required results?
Thanks

Bob,
No blank columns - just more.
In this case, you've got 4 or 5 total columns, and only one of
them
has
the
carriage returns - the rest are fine, but you want them all
lined
up
together
with the carriage return breaks that your macro creates.

Do you mean that you want to insert some new blank columns?
If
so,
how
many,
and in front of which column?
Also, is this related to the previous question, in that it
needs
to
tie
in
with that code, or a separate question?

Bob,
Once again - you are the macro maestro!
If I need to add columns to the sheet, how do I add them
in
the
macro?
Thanks again!

Cells(i + j, "B").Value = Cells(i,
"B").Value
Next j
End If
Next i

I don't think you can do this with a formula. You
would
probably
need
a
fairly involved macro.
You would need to count the number of line breaks in
each
cell
in
column
A,
add that many rows below each cell, split the string,
remove
the
line
breaks, and copy the column B information into the new
rows.
Not
difficult,
but quite tedious.

I've got a sheet with 2 columns - column A has
multiple
values
in
one
cell
that are separated by carriage returns, and column B
next to
it
has
only
one
value per cell.
I'd like to not only strip out these carriage
returns,
but
also
(the
fun
part) add rows for each value and maintain the
reference
to
the
column
next
to it.
Example:
A1 looks like this:
Milk
Eggs
Juice
B1 looks like this:
Food
I'd like A1 to contain the value "Milk" and B1 to
contain
"Food". A2
should
contain "Eggs" and B2 should contain "Food". C1
should
say
"Juice",
and
C2
should say "Food". You get the idea.
Thanks,
Adin
