RE: Search Bar

Hi Jay

Thanks for getting in touch. This is not built in to the Data Validation options in Excel but using various formulas you can create similar functionality. It's described very well here:

Excel tip:

Line breaks in a cell

You can control the line breaks for multiple-line headings or labels in your Microsoft Excel worksheet, just like you do in Microsoft Word. Here's how to do it.

Click the cell where you want the label or heading to appear.
Type the first line of information.
Press ALT+ENTER.
