In various situations, you may need to add new rows to Excel cells, such as in the case of merging address rows. In this article, we explain in detail through 2 different solutions how to easily add line breaks in Excel cells with some simple steps. Hope you enjoyed reading this article.

Method 1: Use keyboard shortcuts

Step 1: Suppose you have a word that needs to be split into multiple lines. The words in the example below are The Geek Page and I want to put each word in it on a new line. That is, The should be on one line, Geek should be on the next line, and Page should be on another line.

Step 2: On the word, click the point where you want to add a new line. Then press ALT Enter key to add a newline character.

For example, if I want to split the word The Geek Page into 3 lines, I should click before the words Geek and Page, then Press ALT ENTER key at the same time to enter a newline character before them. That’s all.

Method 2: Add new rows dynamically by using formulas

In this method, we will explain how to easily add line breaks in formulas.

Step 1: Let’s say you have 3 columns that need to be merged. So typically, what you need to do is, you need to concatenate the text first using the & operator.

For example, I need to merge Column 1, Column 2 and Column 3. So the formula for my combined column is as follows.

=A2&B2&C2

Step 2: After the connection is over, you can see that the texts are merged, but there is no separator between them, let alone Line break.

Step 3: So, to add line breaks in the formula, there are a few more steps required.

You need to add the word CHAR(10) between the words you want to combine. Make sure to concatenate them well using the & operator, otherwise you will get VALUE Error.

So, my example formula looks like this.

=A2&CHAR(10)&B2&CHAR(10)&C2

Step 4: Now if you click somewhere else or press Enter you can see that you There are no changes to the text. Well, don’t worry, some things are still waiting.

Click the HOME tab at the top, then under the HOMEOptions card, click the button named Wrap Text.
