How to type text in combined cell?
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to type text in combined cell?
For example, when I join A1 and A2 cells together, and enter a formula If true, then type the text A at top and M at bottom, which looks like following A M in combined cell A1 and A1. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks in advance for any suggestions Eric |

How to type text in combined cell?
Presume you meant something like this?
If A1 contains: A, A2 contains: M, A3 to return it as: A M If so, first, format A3 to wrap text, via FormatCellsAlignment tabCheck Wrap Text Then place in A3: =A1&CHAR(10)&A2 If you meant just how to break for a new line in a cell when entering data manually, just press Alt+ENTER where you want to break it. -- Max Singapore http://savefile.com/projects/236895 xdemechanik --- "Eric" wrote: Does anyone have any suggestions on how to type text in combined cell?

How to type text in combined cell?
I don't mean type it manually, ..
Ok, but I did give you 2 options earlier, and with the formula option explained ahead?? One last go here, with A3 pre-formatted to wrap text (this formatting is required) Try something like this in A3: =IF(COUNTA(A1:A2)=2,A1&CHAR(10)&A2,"") where A1:A2 will contain the text to be combined: A, M Or, perhaps something like this in A3: =IF(COUNTA(A1:A2)=2,"A"&CHAR(10)&"M","") which will give the desired "fixed" text return: A M if the condition checked is TRUE, else "" (as you stipulated) -- Max Singapore http://savefile.com/projects/236895 xdemechanik --- "Eric" wrote: I don't mean type it manually, I need to set a cell formula , if the condition is true then return A M else "".

Don't use merged cells. It causes a lot of pain.
I'm out of guesses/ideas here. -- Max Singapore http://savefile.com/projects/236895 xdemechanik --- "Eric" wrote in message ...
