Tabs in Cell boxes

Copper Contributor

Thank you in advance.  I would like to be able to use tabs within Cell boxes. Is that possible? If so can someone please tell me precisely how to do it using Excel 365 for Mac.  Thank you.

Can you tell us precisely what you mean by "tabs within Cell boxes" --then, if it's possible, we might be able to tell you how. That expression, that label, didn't mean anything to me...and I do use Excel 365 for Mac as well....

="Test"&CHAR(9)"Test"

 will create a text string "Test<tab>Test". Copy and paste as values and you will end up with two words in one cell, separated by a tab.
