Anyone know how to input 2 strings from vba into a single cell, like the following;

String 1
String 2

Please Login or Register  to view this content.

The code above puts the strings into the cell without a break.

Any help appreciated!!

Taa laa

activecell.Value = "a" & chr(10) & "b"

Hey,

I had originally did as you tried but got a square inbetween my strings within the cell, found out that the cell first has to be formatted using 'Wrap Text box'.

Taa

Range("A1") = "String1" & Chr(10) & "String2"

maybe,

Make it
Range("A1")= String1 & CHR$(10) & String2 ( it is CHR$ not CHR )

It's both. And there's very little to choose between the two. Chr$ is
marginally more efficient, but will make such a disappearingly small
improvement in an average Excel/VBA application that, in reality, it matters
not which you use.
