Hello, I'm trying to use the a cell when it has Alt Enter in it. right now, it is two lines in one cell. like this:
GEOGRAPHIC_VINTAGE
_YEAR

I do not want to change the cell, nor do I want to eliminate the Alt Enter. I want to find the whole cell when I press Control F. I tried using GEOGRAPHIC_VINTAGE char(10) _YEAR, but that did not work. any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

How to fill five years of quarters?
Type 1Q-2023 in a cell. Grab the fill handle and drag down or right. After 4Q-2023, Excel will jump to 1Q-2024. Dash can be any character.
Instead of char(10) use Ctrl J

Hello Fluff, thanks! control J find the line break itself, but i want to find the words in the first line, the line beak, and the words in the second line. finding only the line break doesn't work for this situation. thanks!

thank you Fluff! worked perfectly as you described. Here is the code when I recorded, in case anyone else has this same issue. Thanks again!
VBA Code:
Sub Macro1()
    Cells.Find(What:="GEOGRAPHIC_VINTAGE" & Chr(10) & "_YEAR", After:=ActiveCell, LookIn:=xlValues, LookAt:=xlWhole, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlNext, MatchCase:=True, SearchFormat:=False).Activate
End Sub
