Text to Columns with Line Breaks.
I have an Excel Spreadsheet that I inherited with approximately 2,500 rows.
One column has street address, city, state, zip, and phone. In between each piece of information was what appeared to be two line breaks. I used Alt+0010 to remove one of the line breaks. The second break will not disapper. I have also tried ctrl j. When I go to use Text to Column with a delimited file type, it does not recongize anything beyond the street address. What else can I try to remove the line break and the symbol of a "?" in a box? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! |

CTRL + j and Alt + 0010 are the same thing.
