When entering text into a cell, sometimes we’d like to insert a line break for betterformatting. A line break is like when you’re in Word and you press Enter tocreate a new line. This can also be called a carriage return. We’ll cover twoways to do this.

  • Line breaks in plain text
  • Line breaks in cell formulas

One thing is certain, you shouldn’t use two cells for creating the illusion of line breaks.

Adding a Line Break in Plain Text

This one is easy. While you’re editing the text of a cell, you can simply pressAlt+Enter (or Command+Option+Enter for Mac) to add a line break as shownbelow.

NOTE: This will automatically set Wrap Text ON for cell A1.

Let’s take a look at what happens when you turn Wrap Text OFF:

Notice that in the formula bar the break is kept there, but it is one singleline in cell A1. This is because Excel needs to format the break and Wrap Textis the way to do it. The formula bar is immune to show any formatting, but itwill show you the data you have (in this case, some text, then a line break andsome more text after). It’s just another way to show you that you have a breakin the cell, but it’s not formatted to show it that way.

Adding a Line Break in Cell Formulas

To enter a line break in a cell formula, reference the text and concatenate itwith the ampersand (or you can use the CONCATENATE() function) along with thefunction CHAR(10) to insert the break (CHAR(13) on Mac). The CHAR()function takes in an integer and will show a character based on that integer. Please seeMicrosoft’s page on the CHAR() functionfor more info. The 10 (13 for Mac) in this case refers to the character“Line Feed.”

Let’s take B1 and add a formula to combine cells A1 and A2 with a linebreak in between them. The formula to use is:

Notice this time that Excel does not automatically turn on Wrap Text when weenter the line break as a formula. You have to manually turn it on to get theformatting you want.
