Hi everybody I am new to airtable and trying to put a class scheduling together. I have mostly been using the template and learning through trial and error. Now I have produced a weird error that does not seem to impact the functionality but is very annoying.

I am using the formula

CONCATENATE(Course, " | ",{Instructor})
and it gives me the correct result (e.g. 100:Contract Essentials | Kevin)
but all results are now between "" (e.g. "100:Contract Essentials | Kevin")
where previously the resulting line did not display ""
So now I have a number of rows without "" and all new data has the ""
Any idea what I should do? any help would be appreciated

Hey @JPE

Give this formula a shot:

IF( {Course}, REGEX_REPLACE( {Course}, '"', "" ) ) & IF( AND( {Instructor}, {Course} ), " | " ) & {Instructor}
