How do I append a character to the end of every line in an excel cell?












3















I have a column of excel cells thats similar to a grocery shopping list and looks as follows:



3 Days Ingredients
2 Apples
1 Jug of milk
3 Bags of mixed vegetables
5 Potatoes


Is there a way to append a character such as a comma or semicolon at the end of every line within the cell so that it appears as follows?



3 Days Ingredients;
2 Apples;
1 Jug of milk;
3 Bags of mixed vegetables;
5 Potatoes;


I know that there's ways to append to the end of a cell but I was wondering if there's a way to do it line by line WITHIN a cell

          Use Substitute:



          =SUBSTITUTE(A1,CHAR(10),";" & CHAR(10)) &";"


          CHAR(10) is the Line Return.



          Make sure the wrap text is on for the target cell
