Hi All,

I would like to know how to handle the multiline cell values in Excel.

I have a source excel file in the below format.

KeyCountry/State
A0001Australia
Sydney
Perth
A0002India
Tamilnadu
Andhra

I need the output to be in below format.

KeyCountryState
A0001AustraliaSydney
A0001AustraliaPerth
A0002IndiaTamilnadu
A0002IndiaAndhra

Most of the online articles suggest to use "Text to Columns" with "\n" character as the delimited to break the multi-line cell to single cell. Seems this option won't work for me as the data will be pasted in column wise after the "Text to Columns" operation. Is there any other better way to get the desired output? Your responses are highly appreciated.

Thank You.

Hi,​

Another question : is the value 'A0001' for example is some merged cells like when copying your initial 'attachment' to a worksheet ?​
If not - within a single cell - so it's better to link your sample workbook on a files host website …​
