Inserting " in a formula

[FARAZ QURESHI]

How can I insert inverted commas in a formula. For example:
="The date today is "&TEXT(TODAY(),"dd-mmm-yyyy")
reflects:
The date today is 13-Aug-2008
but how can I achieve a result like:
The date today is "13-Aug-2008"

To concatenate a quotation mark to a text string use 4 quotation marks as
illustrated below:

=""""&TEXT(TODAY(),"dd-mmm-yyyy")&""""

="The date today is "& CHAR(34) & TEXT(TODAY(),"dd-mmm-yyyy") & CHAR(34)

I prefer to use CHAR(34), like so:

="The date today is "&CHAR(34)&TEXT(TODAY(),"dd-mmm-yyyy")&CHAR(34)

Or you could do it this way:

="The date today is """&TEXT(TODAY(),"dd-mmm-yyyy")&""""

Hope this helps.
