Thank you, Mark.

[libreoffice-users] Calc: How to concat CTRL+ENTER to a string?
All, To place two lines of text in a cell I type the first line then press CTRL+ENTER and type the second line. I am trying to do this in an equation and don't know how. Here's what I have: =CONCATENATE(Target Balance Assuming , E2*100, % Growth) I want everything after Target Balance to appear in the second line of the cell so that the cell looks like this: Target Balance Assuming xx% Growth How do I modify the above equation to achieve this? Thanks, -Bill -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: users+unsubscr...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted

You can just use the -operator for concatenating strings. However, you can use the CONCATENATE function, as well, if you want. ;-) For a line break, take the ASCII character no. 10. e.g. =Target Balance Assuming CHAR(10) E2*100 % Growth Cheers, Stefan -- LibreOffice - Die Freiheit nehm' ich mir! -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: users+unsubscr...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
