How to Write Superscript (e.g., x²) in Excel Cell Names Without Calculation

In Excel, users can insert superscripts (upper index) for text formatting, similar to Word. To achieve this, one method involves writing the desired character (e.g., "x"), right-clicking the cell, selecting "Format Cells," and then choosing the superscript option under the Font tab. Alternatively, users can utilize keyboard shortcuts, specifically pressing Ctrl + Shift + + (plus sign) for superscript and Ctrl + + (plus sign) for subscript, although success may depend on the keyboard used. It is noted that the cell format can remain as General without needing to switch to Text format.
