I am copying lines form an Adobe sheet and when I paste it, it goes into multiple cells. Is there a way to get it to paste into one cell?

Which Excel functions can ignore hidden rows?
The SUBTOTAL and AGGREGATE functions ignore hidden rows. AGGREGATE can also exclude error cells and more.
I don't have a simple 1-step solution but...

1) Copy-paste the Adobe data to column A - starting in A2. This will copy it to multiple rows.
2) In B2 put the formula =b1&CHAR(10)&A2 and copy it down the range.
3) copy the last cell in column B
4) Edit-PasteSpecial-Values to cell C1

The result should be all the data in 1 cell - with the old line breaks still intact.
If you dont want the line breaks then use the formula =b1&" "&A2 instead.

I hope this helps.
