    trying to unwrap a textbox so the data appears on one line and not several different lines

    I am trying to bulk copy data off a excel sheet onto a sharepoint list. I do this by 100 rows at a time, but there are fields that have sevral lines in to cell, which crash my copy in paste into SharePoint.
    What I usually do is click on the cell and click backspace so the data comes on to one line, but since there is a a lot of data, this way wont work.
    I tried highlighting the cells and click un wrap but it seems that the text is still in separate lines..
    Is there a way I can make the text into one line?

    Any help or suggestions would be much appreciated.
    Thank you

    The first image is how the data is, but I want it to be in one line like the 2nd image below....

    Try this formula

    =SUBSTITUTE(A1,CHAR(10)," ")

    I've assumed that your original text is in A1. The formula can go anywhere, B1 for example.

    Your post does not comply with Rule 8 of our Forum RULES. Do not crosspost your question on multiple forums without including links here to the other threads on other forums.

    Cross-posting is when you post the same question in other forums on the web. The last thing you want to do is waste people's time working on an issue you have already resolved elsewhere. We prefer that you not cross-post at all, but if you do (and it's unlikely to go unnoticed), you MUST provide a link (copy the url from the address bar in your browser) to the cross-post.

    Expect cross-posted questions without a link to be closed and a message will be posted by the moderator explaining why. We are here to help so help us to help you!

    Read this to understand why we ask you to do this, and then please edit your first post to include links to any and all cross-posts in any other forums (not just this site).

    what would be the case if the lines of text are in alot of random cells, how would that work?
