Yeah, you can use an attribute manager to create a new line before writing to excel

I think the issue is in the Excel writer. A return created in FME seems to be ignored when writing.

Hi,

Yes. both are right it seems. One can use an AttributeManager or any other transformer of the same family like AttributeCreator or others.

When one uses the "Wrap text" functionality of Excel, the new line is then activated it seems.
