I’ve been trying to figure out how to replace commas with line-breaks. I’ve tried using (/r/n/), char(10), the Unicode representation (can’t remember now), but it rather predictably replaces the comma with whatever I type in the other box, not converting it to a line-break
IF you are trying to use the Ctrl+F to find and replace well you can’t. at least I dont know how.
but if you have a cell say A1 that contains the following : “stack,overflow”
then if you type this in A2 it should work: =SUBSTITUTE(A1, “,”, char(10))
https://support.google.com/docs/bin/static.py?hl=en&topic=25273&page=table.cs
you can then copy the content of A2 and in A3 right click -> Paste Special… -> Values Only.
Hope this helps
