Text Formatting to the Result of a Formula

Text Formatting to the Result of a Formula

Text Formatting to the Result of a Formula

(OP)
=TEXT(A1,"0.0")&" x B2"
Is there any "trick" to format text created with this formula – I want number "2" to be exponent (subscript)?
Thanks,
IV
 

RE: Text Formatting to the Result of a Formula

Not that I know of.
You may consider putting the =TEXT(A1,"0.0") in one cell, and x B2 in the cell just to the right of it. Then you can format B2 whichever way you want.

Cheers,
Joerd

RE: Text Formatting to the Result of a Formula

This can be done only for a vanishingly small subset of special cases, namely the exponents (ie SUPERscripts) 1, 2 and 3.  The full ASCII character sets contain special characters for superscripted versions of these three digits, able to be generated by keystroke sequences Alt<0185>, Alt<0178> and Alt<0179> respectively (¹ ² ³).
