Hello all,

I am using "&" to link data from cells to build a directory (Column A Phone Number, Column B Ext).

Is it possible to install a built in hard return? I tried putting the hard return (Alt+Enter) in the formula, but that did not work.

In the screen shot below, how do I put a hard return so that the Ext is on its own line? is it possible?

Thanks in advanced
 

Excel Facts

Test for Multiple Conditions in IF?
Use AND(test, test, test, test) or OR(test, test, test, ...) as the logical_test argument of IF.
Try
Excel Formula:
=A1  & " EXT " &  CHAR(10) & B1
and make sure the cell is wrapped.
