double quotes syntax required
I need for this :
="Yes" to appear in a cell. That cell is used in turn as part of a DCOUNT forumla to describe a set of criteria my problem is if I enter ="Yes" in that cell what actually appears is simply Yes The only other way I can think is to abuse CONCATENATE e.g. =CONCATENATE("="Yes"") but there are too many quotes. I'm guessing there's a syntax issue to resolve, but can't figure it out? |

If you just want =Yes you have to change your formula a bit:
=CONCATENATE("=";"Yes") You could also use: ="="&"Yes" If you want ="Yes" the formula should be =CONCATENATE("=";"'";"'";"Yes";"'";"'") wrote in message oups.com...
