The semi-colon needs to be inside the last double quote with a closing paren. When adding single quotes around a string, remember to add them outside your selected cell.
(spaces added for visibility – remove before inserting)
=CONCATENATE('insert into table (id, name) values (',C2,',' ',D2,' ');')Here is another view:
=CONCATENATE('insert into table (id, date, price) values (',C3,','',D3,'',',B3,');')
