Hi All,
I'd greatly appreciate for the help. I'm trying to validate a cell for line breaks and double-spacing with the below formula, but i couldn't get it to work.=OR(NOT(ISNUMBER(SEARCH(" ",A4)),FIND(CHAR(13),A4,1))))
Thank you.
Hi All,

Thank you.
How about this for count of line breaks:
=LEN(A4)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(A4,CHAR(10),""))
it might only be: CHAR(13) that's the issue.
hope this helps
Thank you, Georgiboy. But that is not what i am looking for, because we are not allowed to alter the sheet. We use the spreadsheet to import data into the system. I would prefer to do a cell validation so that it alerts people to fix line breaks or extra spacing between words when they copy/paste into the spreadsheet.Originally Posted by georgiboy

It's been awhile....
Anyway, not sure if this is helpful, but here's the formula for my line break and double-space validation: =AND(NOT(ISNUMBER(SEARCH(CHAR(13),$A4))),NOT(ISNUMBER(SEARCH(" ",$A4))))
FYI, I used CHAR(13) because i'm on Mac OS. Cheers!
