Hi,
I've tried to be accurate with my thread title without being too wordy.
But I'm a little stuck for any thoughts/ideas on how to do this in one formula.
Basically I want to be able to type a sentence in cell A1, this sentence could be quite long, so I want to write a formula in cell B1 that will insert a newline every so often, but not in the middle of a word.
My initial logic is simply find the 100th character, find the next space, replace it with a new line, repeat until the end.
I'm aware I'll probably need a fancy array formula, which I'm familiar with to an extent and comfortable with but not when it comes to string manipulation, such as those I've seen on the Chandoo Blog sometimes.
Any help/suggestions would be much appreciated.
