Forcing a line feed in the middle of a string
 
I have a cell like this:
=AT4&" "&AU4&" "&AT5&" "&AU5&" "&AT6&" "&AU6

This concatenates some text in a cell. I'd like to force a line feed after
the 2nd and 4th parameter for formatting purposes. I tried & char(13) & but
that didn't work. I appreciate any help on this.

I usually just insert:
&"{Alt+Enter}"&

just for clarity you press Alt+Enter and not type it there.
Make sure that the cell that has this formula is formatted as Wrap Text (in
format cell).

Try chr(10) and make sure you set the format to wrap text--else you'll see a
little square in your cell.

=at4&chr(10)&...
