Combine 2 Cells With Line Breaks In Each Of Them And Keep Line Break Formatting?
Aug 5, 2014
I'm trying to combine 2 cells that both have text on multiple lines separated by line breaks. I want to keep the formatting so that when both cells are combined, line one from cell 1 and line 1 from cell 2 are on the same line in the new combined cell. This is easy to do when there is only 1 line in each cell but how do you do this for cells with multiple lines? Here is an example of what I am trying to do:
A
B
C
1
First Name:
Last Name:
Address:
John
Smith
123 Harold Street
First Name: John
Last Name: Smith
Address: 123 Harold Street
I want to erase all line breaks which I am not using from my work sheet. But still keeping the line breaks which has something written to it.
this as a example of one cell.
------------------------------------------- - Example text number 1 - Example text number 2 - Example text number 3 - Example text number 4 - Example text number 5 ---------------------------------------------
Using "Find & Replace" I got to replace the ones I want to erase with nothing, so its blank. Too bad the Excel doesn't replace the line breaks with it, so this is what I get.
------------------------------------------- - Example text number 1 - Example text number 2
- Example text number 4
---------------------------------------------
The result which I want to have is:
------------------------------------------- - Example text number 1 - Example text number 2 - Example text number 4 ---------------------------------------------
I know about the Clean Function but that function eases all the line breaks from the cell, which I dont want to.
If not that whould mean that I have to delete the line breaks by hand for hundreds of cells.
I have 2 sheets in a work book. Sheet 1 I paste information from an email into A4. Sheet 2 gathers the information and places it in the cell formating the text so I can import it properly to another program.
I want to take notes that a person fills in (they fill out an online form with their personal information and sometimes leave comments, but not always) and paste this into Sheet 1. When I paste the comments into Sheet 1 it is pasted into mulitple cells. I want sheet 2 to format the text from these mulitples cells into one cell with spaces placed correctly ....
I'm trying to generate an email out of my spreadsheet and use cell values to populate the email.
The issue I'm having is once of the cells (D17) has multiple lines in it, created by using Alt + Enter; and this formatting doesn't appear in the html body of the email.
I have the data to import / read in a pdf, in a doc, or in an Excel worksheet whichever is easier to use. I need to import the data, parse it into the correct cells for that row and then repeat the import until the end of the file. Not all the cells are in each group of data to import, so those cells will be null for that row. Some of the data for one cell may be in up to 14 lines in the data file. I have be concatenating these data rows into one cell. There are 48,000 lines in the file to import or I would do this manually. I am assuming that doing this in VBA would be the most efficient method.
I am trying to split cells that have addresses in them into separate cells via writing a formula but am having no joy, i wonder if anyone could help me please.
What i need is to split cell A1 which contains an address i.e
Red Roofs 12 Chiltern walk Tunbridge Wells Kent TN1 1PL England
I need to put a formula in cells B1,C1,D1,E1,F1 and G1 tha splits each line of the address and puts it in the separate cells so it would look like:
B1 Red Roofs C1 12 Chiltern walk D1 Tunbridge Wells E1 Kent F1 Tn1 1pl G1 England
On my userform, when a command button is clicked, then a textbox gets filled in the the answer. How do I insert line breaks in the answer? For instance:
I tried .value="AnswerPart1" & Chr(10) & "AnswerPart2" but then all the text box displays is AnswerPart1 (the symbol for paragraph) AnswerPart2. It doesn't actually break the line.
Is there a lookup function available that keeps the line breaks in from the lookup array? As shown in the example the Vlookup omits them, I have also tried with Index/Match, but its the same story.
I have text with line breaks in a cell for example:
A1 =
Multiple App1 App2 App3 App4 App5
When I reference this cell for example in B1 (=A1) the line break list merges together and adds a square (LBC) where the line break is meant to be as follows:
Multiple LBC App1 LBC App2 LBC App3 LBC
Is there a formula that can look at cell A1 and split the lines out so that both A1 and B1 look identical not merged together?
I have this code that is to long for the vba window so I read around and found I had to add a space and _ to extend the line.For some reason I get an error in the code when I do that?
However I copied the formula right from the working cell?
I have an html table (3 columns) that has a decent amount of formatting in each column. It uses the <P> attribute for seperating content blocks in each cell along with Lists (LI's) and OL's. It breaks the content on each <P> and <LI> attribute and places each item on a seperate line. I want the content to all be in one cell. I've heard about using a css style to make it stay in the same cell, but it doesn't seem to do anything at all. I've tried:
I've made a spreadsheet for tracking sales/profits and keeping a record of orders, I have made a table on one sheet listing customers, and I have a table on another sheet with a Customer column, with cells linked to the table of customers on the other sheet, The cells in the customer column are set to display a drop-list from the external customers table, but when I select a customer, all of the cell data that's pulled in, is written on one line, whereas it has line breaks on the customers list sheet,
Is there a way of getting the list value to display with line breaks, like on the sheet it pulls the values from?
I manually enter data into inserted comments in a worksheet. Is it possible to run a macro that formats comments to align based on spaces? Ie
Entering "City","State" and "Amount" on row 1 in a comment and entering "Denver", "Colorado" and "5" in the second row would produce those words to align at a predetermined spacing (ie after every space the next word would start 10 characters over) ----------------- City State Amount Denver Colorado 5
I am entering large amounts of text into a text box uisng VBA code.
In VBE I need to line break the text using "space _" in order I can keep the text manageable on the screen. Problem is VBA is telling me there is a limit to the number of line breaks I can have in a sub, how I can solve this, ideally would like to paste a para of text at a time.
I have created a message box and I want leave two blank lines in the middle of the text. Is this possible?
At the moment my code for the message box line looks like:
Msg = "This process will print each site for " & UserSlection & ". Before continuing please ensure you have the right printer selected. (I.E. a colour printer where available). The process may take several minutes to complete. Do you wish to continue?"
I just want to move the "Do you wish to continue?" down two lines so that it is easier to read.
A database spits out a 42-column (A-AP) and 3,000+ row csv sheet of raw data with column headers. Frequently (due to improperly inputted information), there is a random line break in the middle of a cell, resulting in data that should be in columns Q (or R or S) - AP winding up in columns A thru Y (or Z or AA).
The only data that is consistent is in column AC.
Basically, I need to delete any blank rows and pull the incorrectly wrapped data up to complete the row where the split occurred.
Upon examination of the csv file in Word, there are instances of improperly placed paragraph marks (^p), which can easily be searched and replaced—in Word (by replacing each column A data with a unique character and the same data, deleting all paragraph marks and then replacing the unique character with a ^p.
Firstly, I'm not sure how to accomplish this same task in Excel and secondly, doing so brings the data into the proper rows but it doesn't fix the varying number of blank cells. Simply deleting blanks and shifting left doesn't work because the split often occurs in the middle of a cell which would require concatenating. But I would be ok deleting the latter part of the data so the columns align if need be.
In the attached example sheet, I highlighted the relevant data and what needs to be aligned. There is an ideal and an acceptable version in addition to the initial way the csv imports.
I need a formula to insert a line break after every 42 characters in a cell , example if there is 266 characters in a cell there should be 6(266/42)line breaks.
=REPLACE(REPLACE(A1,42,0,CHAR(10)),84,0,CHAR(10))
I tried this but i am not sure how to get the start num to change to 126,168 and so on
I know Excel is not the best tool for formatting sentences, but is there a way to insert a Line-Break based on a condition? (Either using Formula or VBA).
The situation is:A fixed-width cell, is a concatenation of 5 strings. Each of these 5 strings is a small sentence of 3-6 words; individually much smaller than the cell-width.2 of these 5 are fixed (one at start, one at the end). The other 3 are results of their respective "IF" formulas.Hence, the final sentence wraps over 2-3 lines.I need the 3rd & 5th sentence (the whole sentence, all 3-6 words of it) to start in a new line, only if they are going to be wrapped into two lines.
So If the wrapping results in: String1 String2 Stri ng3 String4 Stri ng5
Then change it to: String1 String2 String3 String4 String5
I have a cell in excel that has 5 lines of text and I would like to count how many characters there are in each line of the cell. Is there a formula/macro to count them?
I'm having troubles with a spreadsheet and unfortunately don't know enough VBA to fix it. I have two columns, each with data like so (standard text) separated by a line break:
Object1 Object2 Object3 value1 value2 value3
And I need them separated like so:
Object1 Value1
Object2 Value2
Object3 Value3
with other items in the row from other columns applied to the new rows accordingly.
Any script/macro/tool (even non-Excel) to do this effectively (over 800 rows)?
When importing text from a CSV, the 'line returns' appear in a cell as a small square with faded left and right sides. The do force a line break as intended. However, they are a nuisance in reading and printing.
When I use ALT+ENTER to force a line break, there is no visible character (on screen or printed) for the line break, which is as it should be.
How can I replace this 'special character' line break with one not visible?
Why when I drag the dotted blue page break line does it sometimes break the entire doc into one page per cell ?
The doc is not wide. When I first load I can drag the break line successfully. Then I print preview... select print on both sides... boom.. goes from 4 pages to 14. Then I go back to page break view... drag the line... boom... Hundreds of pages. Even if I revert back to printing on one side it still is messed up.
How do I make this stop?? What am I doing wrong?? Office 2010
