Excel Concatenate Double Quote Explanation

The CHAR function returns a character specified by a code number. Code 34 (CHAR(34)) returns double quotes.

Therefore, use the CHAR function and code 34 (CHAR(34)) to insert double quotes when:

• Concatenating text; and
• Creating an Excel concatenate double quote formula.

You can (theoretically) use an additional set of double quotes as escape characters when creating an Excel concatenate double quote formula. The following 2 Excel concatenate double quote example formulas are equivalent.

'Concatenate double quote with CHAR(34)
=B6&CHAR(34)&B7&CHAR(34)

'Concatenate double quote with " as escape character
=B6&""""&B7&""""

In my opinion, using double quotes as escape characters when creating an Excel concatenate double quote formula results in formulas that are more difficult to:

• Read;
• Follow;
• Understand; and
• Work with.

Consider the Excel concatenate double quote with ” as escape character example formula above. This formula requires 4 double quotes (“”””) to return a single double quote (“) in the formula output. These 4 double quotes do the following:

• The outer double quotes (first and fourth) identify the string literal.
• The second double quote acts as an escape character.
• The third double quote is the double quote displayed in the formula output.

The ampersand text concatenation operator (&):

• Concatenates strings; and
• Returns a single string with the concatenated items.

The ampersand text concatenation operator (&) is not the only way to concatenate items. You can find more Excel concatenate formula examples in the More Excel Concatenate Formula Examples section.
