Replace Carriage Returns & Remove Last Comma

[Nanogirl21]

Using VBA is there a way to replace carriage returns with a comma space?

Also, if the value ends with comma space or comma i''d like to delete those value.

This will be done on sheet called Cranberries in coulmn E only.

User defined function in cell B1:

How about

Sub repl()
   With Range("E1", Range("E" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp))
      .Replace Chr(10), ", ", xlPart, , , , False, False
      .Value = Evaluate(Replace("if(right(@,1)="","",left(@,len(@)-1),@)", "@", .Address))
   End With
End Sub

   End With
End Sub

Thank you. This removed the return, but it leaves comma space (, ) at the end. Also, it placed some comma space at the beginning of some cells.

Ive never used function VBA codes. Not sure where to define the sheet or function.

The following webpage explains how to use user defined functions:

Here is another macro that you can consider...

[table="width: 500"]
[tr]
	[td]Sub ReplaceLFwithCommaSpaceAfterRemovingTrailingComma()
  With Range("A1", Cells(Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp))
    .Offset(, 1) = Evaluate(Replace("IF({1},SUBSTITUTE(LEFT(TRIM(@),LEN(@)-(RIGHT(@)="","")),CHAR(10),"", ""))", "@", .Address))
  End With
End Sub[/td]
[/tr]
[/table]

Thank you for this version of the code. Currently it is placing the results in the column to the right. Is there any way to keep the results in the current column? My data is in column E.

Also, some of my cells start with ", " (comma space without the "). Is there a way to delete these two leading charaters if the cell start with those? I can't do a simple find and replace cause I may have the comma space later in the cell. I just want to remove if the cell starts with that text.
