Hi!

You can just add the ° symbol to your Custom Number format.


Well, that's the problem! I don't know what that custom number format
would be!

Thanks!

Hi folks!

Working on a project and using a formula like this just so we can get
the
degree sign:

=TEXT(ROUND(DEGREES(ATAN2((C6-C30)/2,A25)),1),"0.0")&CHAR(176)

This obviously results in a text value.

How can I dump the TEXT function and the CHAR function and format the
cell
to display the degree sign and still be a numeric data type?

Thanks!
