Concatenate cells with carriage returns

Hi all,

I want to concatenate text in three columns, which would normally be simple.
However, if we take the cells across the three columns, each contains a set
of data using carriage returns (Alt-Enter).

To put some context on the problem, A is First Name, B is Middle Name, C is
Surname.

The data would look like:
A B C
1 David Robert Hughes
Mark Dave Marriott
Martin Benjamin Murray
2 Shaun Andrew Flannagan
Alison Jane Martin

So I would like to combine the data into some sort of output that will lead
to the following, with each :
1 David Robert Hughes
Mark Dave Marriott
Martin Benjamin Murray
2 Shaun Andrew Flannagan
Alison Jane Martin

It is worth noting that some cells may contain 5 entries using carriage
returns, while others may have 2.

Is anyone able to help?

Many thanks,

Rob
 
One way
Use text to columns with the carruage return as the delimiter. Then
concatenate as normal
