How to Add Line Break in Excel formula (New Line / Carriage Return)

Sometimes we need to have the results of an Excel formula on separate lines.

No: you cannot do it by simply pressing Enter. :slight_smile:

Simply append “CHAR(10)” in the formula, in all the places you want a Line Break!

For example, let’s say you want a report with a cell containing all basic information for a site.
