    Break Paragraph in a cell

    Good day i have a paragraph of many text in it, and i need to break them in rows with 1900 characters in each.

    Currently i am doing manually using LEFT for 1st break and the MID for remaining, but need a faster way as below:

    If anybody can help to create a function (add in) so i can run down on multiple rows.

    There are instructions at the top of the page explaining how to attach your sample workbook.

    @pmbhome
    You said 1900 but in your left and mid functions You used 1896 and 1899 for line 1 and 2. What is the reason?
