I have 1 cell with 3 or more seperate lines (wrap text). Is it possible to split this into 3 seperate cells with 1 line? The column comes from a download from Workday.

    Hi,

    You can use the TEXTSPLIT function to get the result.

    For Column try this formula:

    =TEXTSPLIT(A1,,CHAR(10),TRUE)

    For Row try this formula:

    =TEXTSPLIT(A1,CHAR(10),,TRUE)

    User's image
