The problem here is that there are 2 numbers which represent a new line (carriage return/line feeds) for Windows and UNIX systems. You need to use the number value (ASCII) that represents the character.
The CHAR function, which returns a character based on the input number, can also be used for this purpse. You will need to specify a new line character for this method too. You can use the SUBSTITUTEfunction to replace new line characters with the character(s) you want. The logic behind this approach is similar to the Find and Replace method. After entering a new line character, enter a space character into the Replace with box and click the Replace/Replace All button.Īn alternative way is to use formulas to remove line breaks. With this, you can convert multilevel phrases into a single row. Replacing new lines characters with spaces is a common example. However, the result may not look great if you have rather long strings of text. If you want to remove line breaks and merge the lines only, click the Replace/Replace All button. Note that: If you want to add a new line character into a text, use Alt + Enter when editing a cell.
