Default Setting special format for a cell

Dear All,
Could you please tell me how can I can set special format to a column?
To be precise, I'd like to set such a format to the column of cells that it
always shows like " ... sq.m.". For example, if i enter number 5 to the
cell, it must then look like "5 sq.m".
Regards,
Ruslan

Hi,

Select these cells then 'Right click' select 'Custom' and apply a custom
format of

0.00" Sq M"

When competing hypotheses are otherwise equal, adopt the hypothesis that
introduces the fewest assumptions while still sufficiently answering the
question.

Default Setting special format for a cell

1. Highlight the column by clicking on its heading (eg, the "A")
2. Right-click on any highlighted cell
3. Choose Format Cells...
4. Choose Custom
5. In the Type: box, copy and paste the following:
0" m²"
6. Click OK

Now enter your numbers in that column.

Regards,
Fred

In Custom dialog type 0" m

Then hold down Alt key and on the numpad type 0178

Then type the final "

Or run this macro on selected cells.

Sub sq_Meters()
Selection.NumberFormat = "0"" m" & Chr(178) & """"
'0179 for cubic meters
End Sub
