concatenate a double-quote
Trying to create a text string with ". The best I can do is generate
a single-quote and then find/replace the single for a double-quote. I also tried using chr(34). I want to create a text sring from two cells in Excel. ="copy "&A2&" "&$A$1 I'd like the result to be== copy "f:\file" "l:\directory" <== generating the double-quotes before and after the filename and directory. Thanks. |

Thanks. The unintuitive answer is to use quadruple quotes: ="copy " & """" &A2& """" & " " & """" &$A$1& """" You could also place " in a cell and refer to that instead of the quad-quotes. |
