Newline in a cell

Newline in a cell

Newline in a cell

(OP)
You can make the text of a cell occupy multiple lines by adding the text and entering Alt-Return and then adding more text.

The question is - what character is actually added when the Alt-Return is entered?

I want to use it in a formula like
=CONCATENATE($J3," ",$K3) - and replace the " " with that character.

Thanks
Lee

RE: Newline in a cell

That is CHAR(10) which is a line feed, as far as I recall. It seems you have to format the cell with Wrap Text, however, to make it work properly.

Cheers,
Joerd
