you will need to put a single quote in front of the number, treating it as
text.

Cell A1 = '+6

Excel will convert it back to a number if you use it in a calculation such as

=A1 + 5 wil return 11.

Also you can convert it to a number for any formulas by using =Value(a1).

You could try a custom format of +General;General
