Hi,
I have the following two cells on my spreadsheet with the values: "Jack", (cell 1)
Daniels (cell 2)

I am trying to get the double quotes and the comma for Daniels as well but am unable to do so for some reason. I have tried doing a paste special and the custom field properties option but it didnt seem to work. I guess I'm missing something in the process..please help.. Thanks in advance
 


Hi,

In Data/Text to Columns -- DELIMITED...

check to see that the Space and Comma delimiters are UNCHECKED.

Does the cell contain the quotation marks and comma characters, or are they just displayed via formatting?


 
The cells contain the quotation and comma characters via formatting. Thanks for all your help once again! :)
