I am trying to use this simply command to put ' ', around a cell so I can use it to pull many strings from SQL. For some reason, it works in one of my spreadsheets but not my current one. What would cause this? I have hadmy excel repaired twice. Any suggestions? I did change file from compatibility mode. Didn't help. Thanks.

It's hard to respond without knowing what's in the relevant cells, what you expect as a result, and what you see instead.

Often, though, when puzzled by a formula result, it's useful to see Excel's calculations revealed by using
Formulas > Formula Auditing > Evaluate Formula
