Can anyone explain how I could replace all the semi-colon's in a column with
the equivalent of an alt+enter so that each value will appear on one line within the cell? I have a list of names that are separated by ; and I want to have each name on a separate line in the cell, without creating a new cell or row. So I start out with Smith, J;Smithe, C;Smythe, E and I want to end up with: Smith, J Smither, C Smythe, E I would need to do this for all the cells in a particular column so if there is a way to repeat it that would be great. Each cell has a different number of names so I'd like something that looks in each cell in the column for a ; and replaces it with a alt+enter and moves on to the next cell to perform the same task. It seems like a simple task but it's driving me crazy, I'm doing it manually and I know there's a better way. PS, the simpler the better, I don't know a lot about Macros and such. Thank you. |
