Hi Nadine,
The Alt+Enter leaves a character which has an ascii value of 10. So there are a
couple of things you could try. I think the CLEAN function gets rid of this
character, so if your data is in Col A, in Col B put CLEAN(A2) and copy down.
Or you could try SUBSTITUTE(A7,CHAR(10),"") which should do the same thing. If
you need to leave an ordinary space in place of the Alt+Enter character, then
try SUBSTITUTE(A7,CHAR(10)," ").
With VBA we could actually over-write the data with the corrected data, if that
would be better.
Sub RemoveChar10()
Worksheets("Sheet1").Columns("A").Replace What:=Chr(10), Replacement:=""
End Sub
Again, if you need a regular space instead of the carriage return, put a space
between the "" so it becomes " "
Note that the character you have may be 13, not 10, so you'll have to
experiment. (The Help calls Char(10) 'Line Feed', and Char(13) 'Carriage
Return' but they both seem to do the same thing).
Regards - Dave.

Subject: $$Excel-Macros$$ Need to remove Alt + Enter
To: excel-macros@googlegroups.com
I often receive a file that has extra Alt+Enter in it which makes the cells
long and therefore the files long. Is there anyway I can remove these? The #
rows is 700+ - it can vary.
Thanks.
