Creating a multline x axis in a bar chart

Hi, I am creating a chart to show survey results.  Each question on the survey is varying in in length from 50-200 characters.  When I create the chart many of the questions are too long to display.  So I have created a method to split the lines dynamically.  Below is my code followed by the problem I'm facing:

=if(len(QuestionTXT) < 50, //if the length is more than 50...

left(QuestionTXT,round(len(QuestionTXT)/2))

& chr(13) &

right(QuestionTXT, round(len(QuestionTXT)/2)), //then split it into two lines

left(QuestionTXT,round(len(QuestionTXT)/3)-1)

& chr(13) &

mid(QuestionTXT,round(len(QuestionTXT)/3),round(len(QuestionTXT)/3))

& chr(13) &

right(QuestionTXT, round(len(QuestionTXT)/3))) //otherwise split it into three lines

This is working but with some burps.  I think because of the rounding function its giving some mixed results.

One two line question looks like this:

"I can use R to
o work with the data"

The full question is "I can use R to work with the data"

Another prints out:

"I can effectively
profile a dataset to un
rstand its limitations"

For that one the full question is ""I can effectively profile a dataset to understand its limitations" (notice its missing "de")

I'd love some tips to tighten this up and make it more humanely readable.

Thanks!

Try using Chr(10) instead of Chr(10). It's cleaner I believe.

Round is the issue I believe.
