Concatenate cells with carriage returns
Hi all,
I want to concatenate text in three columns, which would normally be simple. However, if we take the cells across the three columns, each contains a set of data using carriage returns (Alt-Enter). To put some context on the problem, A is First Name, B is Middle Name, C is Surname. The data would look like: A B C 1 David Robert Hughes Mark Dave Marriott Martin Benjamin Murray 2 Shaun Andrew Flannagan Alison Jane Martin So I would like to combine the data into some sort of output that will lead to the following, with each : 1 David Robert Hughes Mark Dave Marriott Martin Benjamin Murray 2 Shaun Andrew Flannagan Alison Jane Martin It is worth noting that some cells may contain 5 entries using carriage returns, while others may have 2. Is anyone able to help? Many thanks, Rob |
One way
Use text to columns with the carruage return as the delimiter. Then concatenate as normal HTH "Rob" wrote: Hi all, I want to concatenate text in three columns, which would normally be simple.
