What you want to do is to wrap the text in the current cell. You can do this manually by pressing Alt + Enter every time you want a new line
Or, you can set this as the default behaviour by pressing the Wrap Text in the Home tab on the Ribbon. Now, whenever you hit enter, it will automatically wrap the text onto a new line rather than a new cell.

You have to use Alt+Enter to enter a carriage return inside a cell.

- Edit a cell and type what you want on the first 'row'
- Press one of the following, depending on your OS:
Windows:Alt + EnterMac:Ctrl + Option + Enter - Type what you want on the next 'row' in the same cell
- Repeat as needed.
Note that inserting carriage returns with the key combinations above produces different behavior than turning on

. In the screenshot below, column A
has the carriage returns and column B
has Wrap Text
turned on. Changing the width of a column with carriage returns doesn't remove them. Changing the width of a column with Wrap Text
turned on will change where the lines break.1,36944 gold badges1818 silver badges3232 bronze badges

Alt + Enter never worked for me. I had to go to
jonscaFormat Cells
and make sure that the Number
tab was set to Text
. That allowed me to see exactly as I had input. My issue could have been Mac specific though.3,7241414 gold badges3030 silver badges4545 bronze badges
