Concatenate HTML containing double quotes

C

Chas

I am using Excel to build some repetitive html coding. I need to
concatenate html that contains double quotes ("), for example, I want to
join the first line below:

<td width="50%" valign="top" align="left"

TO THIS:

style="border-left-style: none; border-left-width: medium">

How do I indicate to Excel that the double quotes are to be treated as text
and not parts of the concatenation?

Thanks for the assistance.

I think you are using VBA code. Not sure since your question is very vaque.
If you are using WRITE in VBA change to PRINT. If not, then give us more
details.

Thanks for the reply.

I need this function to work:

=Concatenate("<td vAlign="top"","width="16"")

How do I format the double quotes in the text strings so that the
Concatenate function interprets them as text and not as text string
delimiters?

Maybe...
=CONCATENATE("<td vAlign=""top""",",width=""16""")

or
="<td vAlign=""top""" & ",width=""16"""

Double up your internal quotation marks.

And I added a comma. Not sure if you wanted that.

Hi,

It would appear you need to use 4 quotation marks to get one to show up, so for example, if you wanted to write "hello" in a cell, you would need to use the following formula;

=CONCATENATE("""","hello","""")

That would return this;

"hello"

Hope that helps!
