Insert manual line break in formula
 

Hi
I have a formula which combines texts from several sources.
Eg:
="I am a "&A30&". You are a "&A31&".
However we don't "&A32&", nor "&A33&".
Except that, we do "&A34&"."

However the whole statement will appear in 1 line.
I would like to break it into 3 lines in that cell.
How to do?

Insert manual line break in formula
 

Try something like this:
="I am a "&A30&". You are a "&A31&". "&CHAR(10)&"However we don't "&A32&",
nor "&A33&". "&CHAR(10)&"Except that, we do "&A34&"."

Note: You'll need to set your cells to wrap text and set column widths.
FormatCellsAlignement Tab
Check: Wrap Text

Does that help?

It helps a lot although this solution is not perfect. :D
By the way, would you mind telling me what's the point of adding "CHAR(10)"?
I would like to understand why.
Thanks. :-)

Char(10) refers to the ASCII code 10, which represents a line break or "line
feed". Consequently, putting the &Char(10)& in a string is the equivalent of
[Alt]+[Enter] in the string.

For a list of other ASCII codes...try this link:
