I thought this would be a simple Excel solution, but while I can get this work in Excel, I can’t replicate it in WeWeb’s formulas.

I’m pulling a number from my database (for example, 24) and then want to append it with a quotation since it’s referring to a screen size. So I want the final output to appear as follows:

`24"`

However, since this is using a quotation, I imagine that is messing with the code. Any solutions to get around this?

How about [variable] + “?”

Nice!

Another way would be to put the " in between single quotes ’ or backquotes `

Oh very cool! Didn’t realize the + formula could be used like that!

Thats because " is a special caracter for string in js.  
You can either escape it (`"\""`), or use a different string separator as Joyce explained
