This is what I am referring to as a double quotation mark "

I have two formulas. Formula A finds a single apostrophe and counts the number of occurances in the cell F1. This formula works.

However formula B brings up an error message because I am enclosing a double quotation mark inside double quotation marks. How do I express the quotation mark in formula B and find the number of double quotation marks in cell F1?

A.
=(LEN(F1)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(F1,"'","")))/LEN("'")

B.
=(LEN(F1)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(F1, ""","")))/LEN(""")
