Ten to the power of six
I'm not exactly sure what format you're wanting, so here's several.
If your wanting to display "10^6" exactly liek that, and you don't need it for a calculation, try putting an apostrophe in front of it to tell Excel that you want to display exactly as you write. '10^6 If you need to use in calculation, try formatting the cell to scientific. YOu can then set how many decimal places you want. Hope this helps! -- Best Regards, Luke Moraga "Corren" wrote: WinXP, Excel 2007 I am unable to show this number in a cell. How do I do it? Thank you. |

Thank you. I should have been more explicit.
I need to show, ten to the power of 6 with the number six as superscript. I was able to show 10³ but not the other one. It always defaults to 106. |

Hi Corren,
Type '106' into the cell, then select the '6' and superscript it. Cheers -- macropod [MVP - Microsoft Word] ------------------------- "Corren" wrote in message oups.com... Thank you.

Format the cell as text
Type in 106 Select the 6 in the formulabar format|Cells (and make the 6 superscript) You could also prefix the entry with an apostrophe to make it text: '106 Corren wrote: Thank you.

Ten to the power of six
My problem is showing ten to the power of 6 or 12 as 10 with 6 as a
superscript, like in 10³. Thank you. |

Unfortunately 6 has no ascii code to show it as superscript as 2 and 3 have like Alt + 0178 or 0179 You could use event code to superscript the numbers. Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range) If Target.Column < 1 Then Exit Sub On Error GoTo ErrHandler Application.EnableEvents = False With Target If .Value < "" Then .NumberFormat = "@" .Characters(Start:=(Len(Target)), Length:=1).Font.Superscript = True End If End With ErrHandler: Application.EnableEvents = True End Sub As written the code works only on column A. This is event code. Right-click on the sheet tab and "View Code". Copy/paste the above into that sheet module.
