How can I create superscripts in Microsoft Excel to produce cubic metres, m3?

Here’s an easy way to enter superscripts into your spreadsheet headings. Assume you had some data which related depth of soil with volume of soil and you want the volume of soil to be in terms of cubic meters, m3. Here’s how to set the superscript:

  1. In your Excel 5 or later document, type (m3) in a cell for the units to be used for the volume.

  2. Click again back on the cell and press the (F2) key. This enters text editing mode in the cell.

  3. Using your mouse or by pressing (Shift) and (left) or (right) cursor keys, select the just the number 3 so it becomes highlighted. It is important to highlight the number and not just have the cursor flashing in front of it.

  4. Then, press (Ctrl)(1) or select the Format menu then Cells.

  5. In the box that appears, click the Superscript check box, then click OK, then press (enter).

Your number is now a superscript. This method also works when you are trying to format just part of the text in a cell. Select just the text you want to format in the same way as described above, then select the Format menu then Cells. Apply the formatting you want, then click OK the press (Enter).
