Is there a way convert single cell with wrap text into multiple cells with the number of resulting rows based on the number of lines in the original cell. Due to the restrictions of my overall printable "document", I must use multiple cells of the same height. Any change of row height would throw off the desired final result.
As an example, when I start with my original cell in text wrap and set column width I get something like the following in cell F2:
ASTM A743 UNS J93254
(SUPER AUSTENITIC)
(LONG LEAD TIME
MATERIAL)
This looks great, but it is all in one cell, and the four lines of wrapped text have obviously increased the row height which is bad.
I have tried using the LEFT and MID functions to force the text into different rows based on character length, but this is sort of messy since I am never sure what the input will be resulting in something like the following (this time in cells F2:F5) with spaces at the beginning of a line or breaks in the middle of words:
ASTM A743 UNS J93254
(SUPER AUSTENITIC)
(LONG LEAD TIME MATE
RIAL)
My ultimate goal would be to somehow format the original input data text so that regardless of the input, the text would be restricted to a certain column width, sending the remaining text to the next consecutive rows down, and maintain the integrity of the original. I can have as many intermediate cells, formatting as I go to get to this point.
Of course, I could manually enter the text in the different rows every time, but it would be nice to have a succession of formatted cells so that the desired end result would be automatic. Hopefully, the answer does not involve too much in the way of macro or any VBA code since I am a pitiful novice, and we are sort of under pressure to get this project under way.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
