Default find and replace

I exported outlook information into excel. Where there was a return in the
address, I get two thick vertical bars, which operate like a return when mail
merged to Word.

I want to replace the return with a comma and a space. Is this possible?

Thanks for your help!

Hi Diane

Try
=SUBSTITUTE(A1,CHAR(10),", ")

This replaced the double vertical line with a single one. Any way to remove
the single one?

Thanks a bunch for your help!!

In A1 enter =CHAR(ROW())

Copy down to A255

You will see the characters represented by the row numbers.

Note: quite a few look the same.
