    Placing a Return in a Function

    I am trying to link two cells together with an return between them. Everytime that I do this I end up with a little square in between the two values. An example of the formula that I am using is as follows:

    =A1&"
    "&A2

    I want my single cell A3 for example to look like this:

    23
    50

    And not like this 23[]50.

    Please Help. Thanks.

    =a1&char(10)&a2
    and that does not even work
    Only workaround I can think of is wrapping the text and shrinking the column
    width.
    Or a3 has a1 and b3 has a2 and wiping out the border.

    =a1&char(10)&a2
    It will work but wrap text has to be enabled for that cell.

    Thanks. I tried the Char(10) as well and it did not work. I forgot to enable the word wrap function and that was the problem. Thanks.
