Ms Excel: Is There Any Way to Superscript a Character in Custom Format?

I want to display the measuring unit (cubic meters) in the cell using custom format ( #.##0,00" m3"), but I want to superscript the character "3". Is there any way to do that?

1 Answer

You can add superscript numbers in custom formatting using superscript shortcuts:

In order to type a superscript 3, you need to hold Alt and then press 0179 (on the numeric keyboard!). If you use a laptop without numeric keyboard, you need to activate num lock.

You can type the following superscript numbers using this method:

1: Alt + 0185

2: Alt + 0178

3: Alt + 0179
