I am trying to add quotation marks around the text in cells in a column.
This is to help with a mail merge that I am doing.

Thanks.

Assuming the cell in question is A1: =concatenate(""",A1,""")

Note that there are three double quotation marks on either side of the A1
reference.

One method assuming column of text is A

=""""&A1&"""" (that's 4 each of ") entered in B1

Copy down column A

When happy with results, copy Column B and in place EditPaste

ss,

If you want quote marks around the entire field, I think you could put them
in your merge main document instead.
