be done and if so please tell me how?

The degrees-sign is, depending on your font, Char(176) or Char(186)
You need to get that into the Custom format, after a zero.
One way: in a cell, enter =CHAR(176). Copy the cell and paste the symbol
into the Type box of the Format Custom dialog.
Another way to enter the symbol is to keep the Alt-key pressed while type
0176 on the numeric keypad (not on the main keyboard!)
In both cases, use 186 if applicable to your font
