I know there's been discussions here before on how to search for carriage returns, but my needs are a little different, and being a newbie, I can't seem to figure it out myself.
I have a spreadsheet where one of the cells should contain only a single part number. But to save time, in certain instances the user has put one part number, hit Alt-Enter and entered a second part number. They do this because all the other information on the row is identical for both parts.
Now I need to search all cells for carriage returns, and if found, do one of two things;
Option A - Highlight the row in yellow. Then a user can go thru and manually copy the row, and change the existing row and the new row to contain a single part number only, or....
Option B - Automatically insert a new row after the offending row, and copy and paste the row. Then highlight both rows for the user to modify. This would at least save the user a little time.
Note there is also other columns that could contain a carriage return as well. I'd like to copy those rows as well. So all cells would need to be searched and either option A or B performed. But if multiple cells in the same row have Carriage returns, I only want to copy the row once.
Thanks in advance,
Ronnie
