Soft line break segmentation rule for Excel files

Question

Hi everyone, 
 I am fighting with making a line break in Excel a segmentation rule. While in some of the projects, it does work, in others it does not. I am aware of the solution described on below link: 
 noradiaz.blogspot.com/.../adding-soft-return-segmentation-rule-to.html 
 Unfortunately, this solution does not work in this particular case for some reason. The file type is Excel, embedded content on, TM with the above segmentation rule attached to the project and still getting the "wrong" result:

Any other ides, please? 
 
 Thank you very much in advance.

 If these are tags as a result of the embedded content processor why don't you just exclude them in the embedded content processing rules? That is far easier to manage.

Hi Dmitry Zaretsky Yes the link you provided alongside this helpful resource, https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=kPaHs5xjWyU should work. I tested to ensure I had the same scenario where in a cell I had a soft return and tags (due to formatting) 
 Please see source sample and how I got it to display in Studio

To confirm the steps I took. 1. Edit Segment Settings by adding a new one 
 2. Before Break + After Break = Anything 
 
 3. Advanced View and gave it a description 
 4. Before Break = .[
]+ 
 5. After Break = . 
 TIP: You do need to recreate your sdlxliff files against the amended TM. I hope this confirms it is possible and that I gave you enough guidance and clarity to get it working. If you still require support please confirm what are your segmentation rules? Lyds

 Same situation here. I have already sent the files to you. Even if the tag pairs in embedded content are declared to be excluded it does not work... Studio 2021. BTW, changing the segmentation rules as suggested by Lydia does not work also.
