How to devide text data ( adress ) devided by commar into text with text wrap

Hey community,

 

is there a smart way to convert address data devided by comma into a new cell with text wrap?

 

I have following text: Examplestreet 1, 12345 City and I would like to get it into this format:

 

Examplestreet 1

12345 City

 

Currently I am using "text in columns" and set up the "," as identifier. This is giving me the adress data into seperate cells ( cell A = street) ( cell B = City )

 

Once done I am putting these together with =A1&sign(10)&B1.... etc

Else I tried already =substitute (Cell; ","; Sign(10))  which should replace the comma by the text wrap but this seems not to work for some reason.

 

Any idea is much appreciated

 

thanks

    =SUBSTITUTE( C6,", ", CHAR(10))

    With this formula the space is removed. The difference is ", " instead of ",". In the new formula there is a space after the comma.

    =SUBSTITUTE( C6,",", CHAR(10))

    This formula works in my sheet if i activate "wrap text" in the cell with the formula.

      Thank you! Now it works well, but I have the same issue as you have 😃 I have an empty space right before the zip which makes it not to be aligned in wrap text. any further idea how to solve that in a quick way? * I found a way to fix it by just adding the empty space into the formular: ", " *

    Then try it: (in A1 is your address)

    =SUBSTITUTE(A1,", ",CHAR(10))

    SIGN() is the wrong function. It gives the sign of a number.
