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