Try something along these lines:
ActiveCell = Replace(ActiveCell, ",", vbLf) -- Charles Chickering "A good example is twice the value of good advice."

You can't use this in a cell. Charles provided a vba solution. You
would have to insert this in code to make your replacements. Kamini wrote: I just clicked on a cell and tried to replace with wat u gave me.

I assumed that you wanted to do this with code, this is the line you would
need to use in a macro to replace a "," in the activecell with a line feed. To create a macro, open excel, then press Alt + F11. Go to the menu item "Insert" then choose "Module". Paste this code into the code area: Sub ReplaceCommas() Dim C As Range For Each C In Selection.Cells C = Replace(C, ",", vbLf) Next End Sub To run this, Open the workbook that you want to Find/Replace. Then select the range that you want to replace commas from. Then press Alt + F8. For the "Macros In:" ComboBox, Choose "All Open Workbooks" Then choose the macro "ReplaceCommas" and click run. -- Charles Chickering "A good example is twice the value of good advice."

Just change the "," with ", " that should fix it. If you need to put it back
