How to handle line breaks in text field during export?

(1) ShareShare

Posted on by 4
Hi,
 
I have a table in BC with multi line text fields. When displaying the field on a page, line breaks are displayed normally. But now I would like to export the data for use in Excel. When I create the Query and use the Odata connection in Excel, the text is shown as a single line of text.
 
I am new to BC and AL so I was hoping somebody could give pointers on how to get the data to Excel including the line breaks.
 
Thank you in advance.
