Answer 1

Improved answer based on Ravin and others

$objPHPExcel
  ->getActiveSheet()
  ->setCellValue('H5', "Hello".PHP_EOL." World");

$objPHPExcel
  ->getActiveSheet()
  ->getStyle('H5')
  ->getAlignment()
  ->setWrapText(true);

Answer 2

$objPHPExcel->getActiveSheet()->setCellValue('H5', "Hello\nWorld");
$objPHPExcel->getActiveSheet()->getStyle('H5')->getAlignment()->setWrapText(true);

Works for me...

You should always use double quotes when you add escape sequences in a PHP string.

Answer 3

We can set for the default style, so don't need to specify for each cell range:
$objPHPExcel->getDefaultStyle()->getAlignment()->setWrapText(true);

Answer 4

To achieve next line but same cell forxcel export, this is the simplest solution.

<tr>
    <td style="wrap-text: true">
        Test
        <br />
        Test2
    </td>
</tr>

Answer 5

you should use 'r' to break into new line into excel with php

and use double quotes when you add escape sequences in a PHP string.

  $objPHPExcel->getActiveSheet()->setCellValue('H5', "Hello\r World");
  $objPHPExcel->getActiveSheet()->getStyle('H5')->getAlignment()->setWrapText(true);
