Good Morning:
I have two cells that contain address information, one is mailing and the other is street address. I want to create a formula to compare both cell and to let me know if the address if the same, if the address is not the same I want to combine them. I know that to combine a cell I use the formula: =A2&B2 How do a enter a paragraph mark in between them? meaning how to lines instead of one long address without breaks? example: A2 = 109 Vine Hill & B2 = 3023 Leight Avenue Result: 109 Vine Hill 3023 Leight Avenue NOT: 109 Vine Hill 3023 Leight Avenue But if A2 and B2 are the same, I want to show the address only once. Example: A2 = 109 Vine Hill & B2 = 109 Vine Hill Result: 109 Vine Hill NOT: 109 Vine Hill 109 Vine Hill Thank you for your help. Sincerely, PaolaAndrea |

=IF(B4=C4,B4,B4&CHAR(10)&C4)
The cell containing the function must have wrap text turned on, or you will still see it on one row, separated with [?].
