Learn how to split text with line breaks in Excel using Textsplit() function

To split text with line breaks in Excel and separate it into multiple cells, you can use the TEXTSPLIT formula. To do this, follow these steps: first, identify the cell that contains the text you want to split, for example, cell B5. Then, use the formula =TEXTSPLIT(B5,CHAR(10)). Here, B5 refers to the cell with the original text, and CHAR(10) represents the line break character. This formula will split the text at each line break, distributing each line into a separate cell. This method answers how to split cells at line break in Excel, split text into multiple lines, and generally split text in Excel. Additionally, while this formula helps in splitting text, inserting a divider line in Excel involves different steps such as drawing a border or using the underline feature.

Here's the formula featured in my video.
=TEXTSPLIT(B5,CHAR(10))

00:00This is how you split text with line breaks in Excel.
00:02In my previous video, I demonstrated how to convert this raw data set into this tabular
00:07format using text to column function.
00:10But that method has a bit of limitation when your data set starts to grow.
00:14The more appropriate approach would be to use text split function.
00:18Please keep in mind that the text split function is only available in Microsoft 365 or newer
00:24version of Excel.
00:25Let's start off by deleting our old data set from our table here and place your cursor
00:30on cell D5 here.
00:32Well, we're going to say equal text split open parenthesis.
00:38The first argument will be the cell where your raw data is, comma.
00:42The second argument is your delimiter or how you're going to split the text if you look
00:47at it.
00:47It's basically a line break or a new line.
00:50In ASCII character or in ASCII numeric value, the line break is identified as numeric 10.
00:56If you look at the ASCII chart on the screenshot here, numeric 10 represents line feed, which
01:01is also known as line break here.
01:03That's why this numeric 10 has to be placed here.
01:06Close parenthesis and hit enter will convert this raw data into this line.
01:11Now to apply the same formula right across, just drag your line fill handler here all the
01:16way down to the very last record.
01:17And then there you go, job done.
