    @TeachExcel how about having let's say 3 lines. Two in normal style and one hyperlink to a google maps location? Can you have hyperlink in a cell and add some text without hyperlink? Specifically google maps link. So a box would contain: lunch at (hyperlink) then a movie all in one box but only the hyperlink line colored and underlined...

    Hi. Thank you for this video. 😊 Do you know how I can separate text into individual rows and cells? I work on a Spreadsheet where my department has it set up with the multiple lines within one cell, but I need to count only certain data. Countif won't work, nor will filter in this format. What's worse is I am looking for specific names with certain criteria. Example, how names might be listed in the cells by column throughout the spreadsheet: N: George/Amy*/Adam N: George N: Adam*/George (Each one of these will be in their own cell with multiple lines of additional data.) I used the asterisk to represent a bolded name. Let's say I'm counting for George. I would only count him once because, although he is listed in a group of other names, I only count him if he is in bold or on a line by himself. Is there any way I can split the cell so all data moves to its own row? If I can make that happen, then I could sort. This spreadsheet is difficult because it's pretty big, especially with all the large cells that have multiple lines within one cell. I have no idea what else to do. I'd appreciate any guidance! Thank you!

    I have a followup question that I can't seem to get worded right, in order to find the answer. Now that I've done this step and I've created multiple lines in Column A. All of the other columns for Line 1 have multiple lines in them as well. How do I type on those lines in column b, c, d etc. Say I have 3 lines created in Column A Line 1, when I move over to column b and attempt to type, I cannot access the higher lines and if I use ctrl+enter, it adds a 4th or 5th line.
