How to Put Multiple Lines in Excel Cell on Mac
Multiple lines in one cell Excel Mac
This will allow you to enter multiple lines of text inside a single Excel cell on Mac. (Note: this is not the same as “word wrap”, which simply wraps one long line of text to fit the cell.)
Follow these steps:
- Place cursor at desired location in Excel cell (not in formula bar)
- Then press: Control (ctrl) + Option (alt) + Return (enter)
Note: This is on a standard Apple Keyboard (not the Apple Keyboard with Numeric Keypad)
I made this post because I could never remember how to make two lines in one cell in Excel Mac. It was so frustrating!

Wow it worked perfectly for me. Thanks man.
Glad to hear it, bright kyei.
Note: Apply the Ctrl-Opt-Rtn in the cell itself, not in the ‘text line’ atop the sheet: this still took me a minute to figure out.
