    Quotes within concatenation

    Hi all,

    Trying to use quotes in a concatenation formula but they keep kicking everything out. In scripting languages, you can use a \ which basically stops the quote being treated in the typical way and treats it as a character.

    Does anyone know of a way round this in excel?

    eg.
    =CONCATENATE("Chris "The Tester" Connor"," is testing this")

    i know i could put "The Tester" in another cell and just reference that in the formula but i want to have everything contained within that one formula.

    Thanks in advance!
    Chris

    You need to double up the literal quotes like

    =CONCATENATE("Chris ""The Tester"" Connor"," is testing this")
