I've been using the char(10) in my formulas and haven't had any problems while on a PC, now that I've just tried this on a mac it seems to not be working. I'm using the same spreadsheet that I was using on the PC, I've double checked and I do have "Wrap Text" checked. What am I missing?
 

Excel Facts

Square and cube roots
The =SQRT(25) is a square root. For a cube root, use =125^(1/3). For a fourth root, use =625^(1/4).
You're right! Thank you very much for that suggestion. I hope this helps someone else.

I typed to soon. Apparently char(13) works as a line break with Mac Office, but not in the PC version and char(10) works in the PC version but not the Mac version. Any suggestions for cross platform compatibility?
