I'm trying to export data from a database management package to Excel. I can create a text file containing the data but data cells which contain carriage returns won't import properly into Excel. I can change each CR to a text string like "#$#" and I then want a VBA macro which changes each "#$#" back to a CR. A CR in a cell in Excel on a Mac is 'control-option-enter'. How do I weave that into a replacement string?
Try using vbcr, vblf, or vbcrlf. Or Chr(10) or Chr(13).

Thanks TMS, the vbcr works fine. I saved my Excel file in a .xlsm format and now, every time I open it, I have a yellow banner across the top that says, "Security warning Data connections have been disabled." How do I get rid of that?
You're welcome.
Thissounds like a different question. I can only guess that somewhere along the line the saved workbook has links to another file. But I don't know anything about Macs so I'd suggest you start a new thread with the new question."Security warning Data connections have been disabled." How do I get rid of that?
If vbcr answers the original question, then this thread should be marked "Solved"
