    Standard charachter count?

    Is there a standard amount of charachters per line in excel?

    Right now I have an If statement that tests the rowheight, but I have found that there is a problem with this.

    The macro puts each name in the same cell but skips ahead 10 charachters to go to the next line.

    What I would like to do is make the if statement based on the number of charachters in the cell, and not it's height.


    so right now it says:
    if the row height is X, then offset(0,1)
    I want it to say
    if the charachters in the cell are X(the X here is the big question), then offset(0,1).

    Are you sure that your source data doesn't have trailing spaces?

    if the charachters in the cell are X(the X here is the big question)
    You could check the LEN of the text in teh cell.
