I am using Tufte book. For the table below, I want to add a line break in the first column. I want "Nr. of transactions" to be in one line and "pre-processing" on the second line. How do I force a line break in a cell?

\begin{table}[ht]
\caption{Characteristics of the datasets}
\centering
\begin{tabular}{ | m{3cm} | m{3cm}| m{3cm} | } 
  \hline
  Characteristics & Scandinavian retail  & UK-based retail \ 
  \hline
  Nr. of transactions (pre-processing)  & cell5 & cell6 \ 
  \hline
  Nr. of unique customers (pre-processing)  & cell8 & cell9 \ 
  \hline
  Nr. of unique items (pre-processing)  & cell8 & cell9 \ 
  \hline
\end{tabular}
  \label{Datachar}
\end{table}

Just use this code for the cell: Nr. of transactions \newline (pre-processing). – Bernard May 14 '22 at 13:22

This is the default if you declare \usepackage{array} in the preamble. You should have presented a minimal working example. – gigiair May 14 '22 at 14:03
You can use the package makecell – Alan Xiang May 14 '22 at 16:54
