how do I remove Carriage Returns from a column in a spreadsheet?
I have some data that I am manipulating in Excel to do an export to another
application. I need to be able to do a universal find and replace to get rid of instances of Carriage Returns and Line Feeds within the data. I have tried the basic find and replace functions but I don't know how to make them find a carriage return character. Any help would be greatly apreciated. |

You could use a 'helper' column and the SUBSTITUTE function This one replaces line feeds with nothing =SUBSTITUTE(C2,CHAR(10),"") Use CHAR(13) for carriage returns You can then EditPaste special...Values once you have achieved both operations Put a space between the two double-quotes to enter a space instead of nothing -- HTH Nick Hodge Microsoft MVP - Excel Southampton, England HIS "Doug R" wrote in message ...
