Familiar keyboard shortcuts of Excel for Windows are now also available on Mac.
1 – Use a Line Break in a Cell with Alt+Enter A Potential Problem with Using Ctrl+Enter in Excel The line break is the character code 10. While invisible to the eye in Excel, this character may create problems when exported into a database system by prematurely starting a new record every time it’s encountered. Using Extra Spaces to Create a Line Break (Not Recommended) I’ve seen Excel users who don’t know about this shortcut so they try and make the lines wrap inside the cell by providing extra spaces between words.
Adding spaces may provide a worksheet cell that looks nice and correct, but an export will also include those extra spaces. (See the formula bar below). Expanding the Formula Bar in Excel 2007 and 2010 The formula bar typically doesn’t show more than one line. In the two figures above the formula bar has been expanded. You can do this with the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+Shift+U, which you’ll probably never remember, or you can select the drop-down arrow at the right side of the formula bar.

I have a list of abbreviation & Acryonyms and the word(s) for that abbreviation. Can anyone help me with trying to get a new line into a formula?
My currently formula is: =UPPER(B2)&”: “&B2&” is a data modeling abbreviation/acronym for “& PROPER(A2) “AI: ai is a data modeling abbreviation for Ab Initio” Examples (in 2 different columns): accept = acpt accounts payable = ar I need to create a title then a sentence. ACPT: acpt is a data modeling abbreviation/acronym for Accept.
——new cell—————– AR: ar is a data modeling abbreviation/acronym for Accounts Payable. ——new cell—————– etc. Marczewski Use vbNewLine (constant in VBA code – check Miscellaneous constants in VBA Help) – it is system dependent (different in Mac and in PC).
However, it won’t work unless you set word wrapping in cell format (the same is true for line break inserted by using keyboard, e.g. Alt-Enter) – you’ll see this non-printable character as a small box (Win), with test wrapping on you get new line and no strange characters.
Alternatively use various combinations of vbCr and vbLf to test/see what works for your system (of course text wrapping must be on), e.g. Char(13) & char(10): function testCrLf testCrLf = vbCr & vbLf end function.
