    CrLf is CHAR(13) + CHAR(10), i think you have the order reversed, so it's not finding anything.

    REPLACE(Col011, CHAR(13) + CHAR(10) , ' ') AS Expr2

    Are you saying this doesn't work?

    replace( col011, CHAR(10), '')

    Here is proof that "it works"

    DECLARE @a CHAR(1) = CHAR(10)

    SELECT @a, ASCII(@a), REPLACE(@a,CHAR(10),' '), ASCII(REPLACE(@a,CHAR(10),' '))

    Now please try to explain how your problem is different from what has been suggested.

    If you haven't even tried to resolve your issue, please don't expect the hard-working volunteers here to waste their time providing links to answers which you could easily have found yourself.

    So can you post all the code? REPLACE by itself doesn't change things. You would have to do this:

    update mytable

    set col011 = replace( col011, CHAR(10), '')

    DECLARE @a CHAR(1) = CHAR(10)

    SELECT @a, ASCII(@a), REPLACE(@a,CHAR(10),' '), ASCII(REPLACE(@a,CHAR(10),' '))

    This is working

    Thank you so much

    Using:

    replace( replace(CAST(FieldName AS NVarchar(MAX)), char(13), ''), char(10), '')

    Still experiencing column alignment issues when exporting to excel (?) Please what format can I use to avoid this?

    Go into Tools/Options/Query Results/SQL Server/Results to Grid - Check Retain CR/LF on copy or save.

    That should ensure your Char(10)'s move into Excel when you copy/paste.
