There is a simple way to enclose text in a cell in Microsoft Excel. Here are the steps:
  1. Select the column that contains the text you want to enclose in quotes.
  2. Right-click on the selected column and choose "Format Cells" from the drop-down menu.
  3. In the "Format Cells" dialog box, select the "Custom" category.
  4. In the "Type" field, enter the following format:
    Code:
    "''"General"''"
  5. Click "OK" to apply the format to the selected column.
