Can anybody suggest a way, VBA to apply to a range of cells into one row (B2:CT2) so it's one word per line (in the same cell).

I have a code that extends the column out but it pushes all the text to one line, so it's too long.

VBA Code:
Sub AutoFitWrappedText()
    With Range("B2:CT2").EntireColumn
    .ColumnWidth = 255 ' maximum width
    .AutoFit
    End With
End Sub


Example Cell, what it says: Dog and Cat

Example Cell, what it looks like:

Code:
Do

g

an

cat

What I'm aiming for:

Code:
Dog

and

Cat

Any help is much appreciated and thank you in advance.
 
='User"&Char(10)&"Dashboard'!G2, so it's looking up a reference cell, not a direct hard-coded text in cell.

Excel Facts

What does custom number format of ;;; mean?
Three semi-colons will hide the value in the cell. Although most people use white font instead.
You could change the formula to
Excel Formula:
=SUBSTITUTE('User Dashboard'!G2," ",CHAR(10))

Hi

VBA Code:
Sub AutoFitWrapped_Formlua_Text()
Dim Rng As Range
   With Range("B2:CT2")
   .WrapText = True
        For Each Rng In .Cells
         With Rng
              If .HasFormula And Not .Formula Like "*SUBSTITUTE*" Then
              .Replace .Formula, "=SUBSTITUTE(" & Replace(.Formula, "=", "") & ","" "",CHAR(10))", xlPart, , , , False, False
              End If
          End With
         Next
         .EntireColumn.AutoFit
         .EntireRow.AutoFit
   End With
End Sub

Thank you, now of the cells will go beyond 8 width, is it the CHAR (10) that's restricting it because some of the larger words that would go past time are being wrapped. Thank you in advance!

Have you changed the formula, or are you using the code supplied by Dossfm0q in post#13?

Also you have more option to Wrap after slash "/"

Code:
' Wrap after slah "/"'
Sub AutoFitWrapped_Formlua_Text()
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Dim Rng As Range
   With Range("B2:CT2")
  
        For Each Rng In .Cells
         With Rng
         .WrapText = False
              If .HasFormula And Not .Formula Like "*SUBSTITUTE*" Then
             ' .Replace .Formula, "=SUBSTITUTE(" & Replace(.Formula, "=", "") & ","" "",CHAR(10))", xlPart, , , , False, False
              .Replace .Formula, "=SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(" & Replace(.Formula, "=", "") & ","" "",CHAR(10)),""/"",""/""&CHAR(10))", xlPart, , , , False, False
              End If
              .EntireColumn.AutoFit
              .WrapText = True
              .EntireColumn.AutoFit
              .HorizontalAlignment = xlCenter
              .VerticalAlignment = xlCenter

          End With
         Next
        
         .EntireRow.AutoFit
   End With
   Application.ScreenUpdating = True

End Sub
