This formula works. I just needed to know, What is the purpose of the four quote marks?
And how do you mark a question solved?
I've marked the thread as solved for you using the forum tools drop-down at the top of the thread. The four quotation marks are necessary for Excel to understand that you want to include quotation marks within the first text you wish to concatenate, because every piece of concatenated text needs quotation marks round it. Try the formula without them and you'll see why they are there.
