Superscript in a Custom Format
I use custom formatting to display units (such as "28 in²"). I need in^4
though and can't figure out a way to get it to show like m² or kg³. Does anyone have any tips? I can't simply type in the units and use superscript because the cells are mostly formulas. I currently use two rows: one for the value and one for the unit. This doesn't line up the way I would like it to though. PS: In case you wanted to know, this how to get 0-3 superscripted. They are just symbols and can be found in Microsoft Word when you Insert-Symbol and select "normal text" as the font. Thanks goes to Gord Dibben for showing me this in a previous post. alt+0186 = º alt+0185 = ¹ alt+0178 = ² alt+0179 = ³ |
