Export to PDF with New Lines

[aiubxh8]

I have an excel file which has bulleted information (new line per bullet) in some cells. I am looking to create a nice PDF table with this data in alteryx, but when I do, my new lines disappear and the information becomes one big paragraph with dashes throughout (where there used to be a new line). See my test output I am inputting into alteryx attached. Any thoughts?

Hey there @aiubxh8,

I downloaded your workflow and took a look.

It looks just like a lot of free form text trying to be jammed into a table. 

Bullets aren't cells and you need to organize this in some way before trying to just stick it in a table.

Is each new lines a new record? What would the report look like in your mind?

If the case is just as it is in excel, maybe excel is the use case for this one?

Happy to help you work through it, but I think you might need to think a bit more about what you want to do.

Thanks so much!
