Try this as a formula text field.

SearchAndReplace([My multi line text field], "\n", " ")

That says to replace any carriage returns with a space.

Hey Mark,

the "\n" helped with some lines, but other lines power query didn't pickup, are there any other invisible

characters aside from the carriage return?

You might try to copy and paste the result into some kind of notepad type app (not Word) to try to see what is really there.

  I have used a combo of Trim with Search& replace, but no luck,
  
  Pasted the results into notepad, comes out like this (with a line in between, if hit delete button, IE0WW(10) will go next to the first line,
  
  IE0WU (5)
  
  IE0WW (10)
  
  Other lines come out fine, but it happens randomly
  
  IE0X0 (8)IE0X1 (7)
  
  Any other suggestions? :-)

    Sorry, I have no ideas what that means, it does not even seem to come up in a google search.
