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. |

Forcing a line feed in the middle of a string
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). "dhstein" wrote in message ...

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)&... dhstein wrote: I have a cell like this: =AT4&" "&AU4&" "&AT5&" "&AU5&" "&AT6&" "&AU6 This concatenates some text in a cell.
