How to create strings containing double quotes in Excel formulas?

How can I construct the following string in an Excel formula:

Maurice "The Rocket" Richard

If I'm using single quotes, it's trivial = "Maurice 'The Rocket' Richard" but what about double quotes?


Have you tried escaping with an additional double-quote? By escaping a character, you are telling Excel to treat the " character as literal text.

= "Maurice ""The Rocket"" Richard"

Alternatively, you can use the CHAR function:

= "Maurice " & CHAR(34) & "Rocket" & CHAR(34) & " Richard"

Three double quotes: " " " x " " " = "x" Excel will auto change to one double quote. e.g.:

=CONCATENATE("""x"""," hi")  

= "x" hi
