i have a formula in cell A2 with a text output. I need to add double quotes at beginning and end. however if I try to use this code i.e. a double quote inside a pair of double quotes as you would add any other text

="""&A2&"""

I just get this which isn't helpful

[TABLE="width: 64"]
<tbody>[TR]
[TD="width: 64"]"&A2&"[/TD]
[/TR]
</tbody>[/TABLE]

is there some simple tweak so I get "Snow" if A2=Snow?

Hi,

You can also do it this way:

=CHAR(34)&A2&CHAR(34)
