let InterpolatedGreeting = "(greeting)"
This way worked best

let someString = "\(someVariable) with some \(otherVariable)"
Hope this helps.

24,269 PointsFirst off, make sure your code statements are on separate lines. Also, your variable 'InterpolatedGreeting' should start with a lowercase 'i'. You need forward slashes before your interpolated strings, like this:
let name = "Dave."
let greeting = "Hi there, "
let interpolatedGreeting = "\(greeting) \(name)"
