Hard returns in a formula?
 

Is there a way to insert a hard return into a formula that joins text from 2
or more cells?

=B1 & B2

I'd like to have 2 hard returns after B1. Is this possible? The result of
the formula should appear as:

"Sentence 1

Sentence 2"


Can this be done with a formula?
Thanks,
Paul

try
=b1 &" "&b2
format alignment as wrap text and use as many spaces as necessary

Don,

This doesn't work due to a limit in formula length. Maybe there's another
way to do this.

I have a textbox that is populated by joining the text from multiple cells.
However, I need the final output (textbox) to be displayed with some hard
returns. This textbox is supposed to be sort of a preview of what the body
text of an email will look like when sent.

I hope this makes since.

One can also try the key combination Alt-Enter while edit the cell
formula.
