        <description><![CDATA[Hmmm, that equation with 'Replace' works OK in Access 2000 and 2007 with a memo field.  Apparently 2010 has a 'Rich Text' data type that replaces or enhances the memo type.  Check the type settings to see if 'Rich Text' is turned on.  BTW, the sum function isn't needed for the count resul in one cell.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[http://www.addictivetips.com/microsoft-office/excel-2010-merge-cells-concatenation/  This is how I did it.  It is easier to do the concatenate in one excel spreadsheet and copy the results and paste the results into another spreadsheet.  I did 450 plus labels for a network cut in about half an hour of prep.  Works great.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Thanks Al Kostiuk, got it working cheers for that gem  So moving on, I'm trying to count the occurances of a word within a string of text which occures within one cell in MS Access 2010.eg. Expr1: SUM(Len([field])-Len(Replace([field],&quot;text&quot;,&quot;&quot;)))/Len(&quot;text&quot;) Now this works in Excel with the function SUBTRACT instead of REPLACE SUM(Len([field])-Len(SUBTRACT([field],&quot;text&quot;,&quot;&quot;)))/Len(&quot;text&quot;)  as subtract isn't recognised in Access. But now I'm getting a type missmatch error! the [field] is 'memo' format by the way. Any ideas?]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[OK, without using code, this is one method.  In Access, add an extra return in front of all the data.  Then use the replace function to merge the data. (Replace([field2],&quot;return char here&quot;,&quot;return char here&quot; &amp; [Field1])) so you get (,A1,A2,A3,A4)Then paste the results into your favorite text editor or Word and clean the results as needed. Then paste append back into an Access table.Not elegant but does the trick.Cheers!]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[I forgot to mention that if you use the Alt-Enter in the edit bar at the top of the page you don't need to enter a character first.  I guess the cells have some data checking rules that restict an orphan line return.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[A curious note on this: I went to Excel to try the solution above and it did not work. BUT - I found that if I put any character before and after the Alt-Enter (in the same cell), it DID work. Then, if I deleted both of those extra characters, it STILL worked, ending up with exactly what I had in the first place, when it didn't work! Can anyone explain this?]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Hi, I'm actually trying to do the opposite, I have let sayA1 (Single line of text &quot;a&quot;) B1 (4 lines of text &quot;1,2,3,4&quot;) (when exported to excel text appears on seperate lines within a cell with text wrap removed each line is seperated with a full stop.)I need to take the 4 lines and put them in seperate cells BUT also dulicate the single line of text so I end up with the following result.A1 (Single line of text &quot;a&quot;)  B1 (Single line of text &quot;1&quot;) A2 (Single line of text &quot;a&quot;)  B2 (Single line of text &quot;2&quot;)A3 (Single line of text &quot;a&quot;)  B3 (Single line of text &quot;3&quot;)A4 (Single line of text &quot;a&quot;)  B3 (Single line of text &quot;4&quot;)The data is currently in MS Access table. But happy to export to Excel if easier to manipulateIf you have a solution to this I would be truely amazed, cheers]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Enter a &quot;new line&quot; character (Alt-Enter) in an empty cell such as A20.  Build your contatenation equation like so (=A1 &amp; A20 &amp; A2 &amp; A20 &amp; A3... etc).  Format the results of this cell with Wrap Text.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[I have content in multiple cells (ie.  A1 to A19).  I am trying to get this into one cell where the content from each cell is placed on a separate line within one cell.  Is there a way to do this?]]></description>
