I have tried Ctrl+Enter, Windows+Alt+Enter. etc. but unable to start a new line in a cell in Excel 365. Please help.

Make sure that you turn on Wrap Text in the Alignment group of the Home tab of the ribbon for the cells in which you want line breaks.

@Hans Vogelaar This still doesn't work.

That's weird.
What happens if you do the following?
Do you see two lines in the cell?

@vipinchaudhary I encounter the same problem, and I still can't solve it.

Did you set Wrap text for the cell(s) ?

Finally have the solution - use the alt key to the left of the space bar (and not the one on the right) while simultaneously pressing the Enter key. This creates another line within the cell. Not sure when did Microsoft make this change!!

@Discoverer This left Alt worked for me too! Had been struggling through this one since long
Cheers :D

This did not work for me. (Windows 10 VDI using Excel 2008 13127.21064) I have to use ALT + Windows + Enter ON THE LEFT to make this work.

@vipinchaudhary Like you, the Alt+Enter isn’t working in Excel 365 any longer. So I looked in the Help/Support and here’s the solution, you’ll need to use the onscreen keyboard for this to work (I’m using an iPad). I’ve added the screenshot as it didn’t have a link.

I have been struggling with this almost everyday for the last year and not found an answer. Thank you so much for ending the hard return chaos in my work life!

Many thanks for the hint. Microsoft has weird improvements.
