How do I code an IN: statement with an apostrophe s:

 

IN:('LOWE'S');

 

The code above does not work.  

 

Thank you.

You can use two apostrophes in sequence like this:

where Store name IN ('LOWE''S','HOME DEPOT');

Or you can use double quotes for the outer quotes, like this:

where Store name IN ("LOWE'S",'HOME DEPOT');

Looks like double quotes outside of the single works "LOWE'S"
