Excel Line Spacing within a single cell [closed]

Supposedly this is the data of a Single Cell A1:

Score Remarks
1-10 25 25-38 jk 100-150 merry

I need a shortcut where I can Allign in such a way that the spacing between the data is uniform.

Score Remarks
1-10 25
25-38 jk
100-150 merry 

I need it like this. NOTE: Do not suggest to use SpaceBars in between, What if the data is huge?

Try the following user defined function:

Public Function PrettyOutput(sIN As String) As String Dim hr As String, i As Long, maxL As Long Dim U As Long hr = Chr(10) If InStr(1, sIN, hr) = 0 Then PrettyOutput = sIN Exit Function End If ary = Split(sIN, hr) U = UBound(ary) For i = 0 To U ary(i) = Application.WorksheetFunction.Trim(ary(i)) Next i maxL = 0 For i = 0 To U bry = Split(ary(i), " ") If Len(bry(0)) > maxL Then maxL = Len(bry(0)) Next i For i = 0 To U bry = Split(ary(i), " ") PrettyOutput = PrettyOutput & bry(0) & Application.WorksheetFunction.Rept(" ", maxL - Len(bry(0))) & " " & bry(1) & hr Next i PrettyOutput = Mid(PrettyOutput, 1, Len(PrettyOutput) - 1)
End Function

User Defined Functions (UDFs) are very easy to install and use:

1. ALT-F11 brings up the VBE window
2. ALT-I ALT-M opens a fresh module
3. paste the stuff in and close the VBE window

If you save the workbook, the UDF will be saved with it. If you are using a version of Excel later then 2003, you must save the file as .xlsm rather than .xlsx

To remove the UDF:

1. bring up the VBE window as above
2. clear the code out
3. close the VBE window

To use the UDF from Excel:

=myfunction(A1)

To learn more about macros in general, see:

and

(v=office.14).aspx

and for specifics on UDFs, see:

Macros must be enabled for this to work!

So with data in A1, in B1 enter:

=PrettyOutput(A1)

and format B1 with a font like Courier:

Data -> Text to columns is what it sounds like you want. Don't try to keep everything in one cell, split it up among several cells.
