Double Quotes or Single Quotes?

Hi

I'm getting just a little confused......so...

can any of you experts out there advise on when is it best to use Single Quotes (')  and when is it best to use Double quotes (") round string values? 

Does Alteryx syntax have a preferred option or does Alteryx processing speed up if you use one in preference to the other? 

I'm well aware that if you want to e.g. concatenate a single quote in string, you encapsulate it in double quotes and vice versa.

@Caroline_CAID ,

 

As far as I have seen it depends on what you are trying to wrap as a string. But for the most part you can use either with the same results.

 

Below is one such example.
