на канале: AuditExcel Advanced Excel and Financial Model Training and Consulting
Many Excel users know how to create line breaks in Excel so that the ‘wrap text’ within a cell, wraps at the words you want it to wrap at. It is created by using ALT + ENTER. But what about removing line breaks from cells (the ALT ENTER’s)? Some software exports files to Excel with these ALT ENTER line breaks and you may need to (quickly) remove them.

Quick Manual Way to remove all ALT ENTER line breaks
These line breaks are actually characters in the cell (character 10- see more about this below), even though you can’t see or click on them. So just like if I wanted to get rid of all the comma’s I could use the Find Replace tool, I can do the same thing with line breaks BUT there is a trick.
In order to fill the find cell with this ‘character’ you need to click CTRL + J. So as shown below, you click in the ‘Find what’ section and hold CTRL down and push the J key. Nothing will seem to happen but Excel now knows what to look for. You leave the ‘Replace with’ blank.

Building a formula to remove the ALT ENTER line breaks
If you need to build a formula to remove these line breaks all you need to know is that this ‘character’ is character 10 in Excel. You can create this character in an Excel cell with the formula =CHAR(10).
So to remove it we can use the SUBSTITUTE formula and replace CHAR(10) with nothing ( shown as “”).
Removing line breaks from cells
The end result will be that the cell will revert back to a cell with no line breaks.
