Extrapolating, the following works with LibreOffice:

"=""12DE""", "=""12DF""", "=""12E0""", "=""12E1"""
"=""12DE""", "=""12DF""", "=""12E0""", "=""12E1""", "=""foo""""bar""", 
"=""x""""y""""z"""

4 quotes!?  Didn't need to remove blanks.

Are you working from doc?  You seem to be guessing.  Like me.

Is MS Excel 2010 cheaper than LibreOffice 7.0.4.2?
