Excel chart subscript, superscript

Question

Hello, 

I have noticed that when creating a new chart in Excel, it is impossible to add subscript and/or in superscript in the axis' name. Can you please let me know if it is possible and how to do it?

Thank you in advance

Best wishes, 

Ewa

Hi Ewa,

Thanks for posting in the community, I’m glad to offer help.

According to your description, we indeed can’t add subscript or superscript in the axis’ name by a conventional way.

However, we use the corresponding Unicode characters to instead of applying font format, here are some common subscript/superscript Unicode characters that you can copy to use in your data directly: ⁰¹²³⁴⁵⁶⁷⁸⁹₀₁₂₃₄₅₆₇₈₉

For more Unicode characters, you can refer to Unicode Character Table (starting from U+2070)

 

Meanwhile, you can post an idea in UserVoice, it is the best way to let the related hear your needs, anyone’s suggestion could have a chance to be adopted by Microsoft.

Hope the above information can help you, please feel free to post back if it works for you or you have other concerns.

Best Regards,

Arck

Hi Ewa,

Have you tried to search for the letter through the above website? For example, you can enter the keyword “superscript a” to get the corresponding Unicode letter. However, it doesn’t seem to list all 26 letters.

Since it is just a workaround, if you want there is such a feature that works perfectly in Excel in the future, I suggest you try to post this idea in UserVoice as I mentioned before.

Best Regards,

Hi Arck,

I tried to find it, but I could not find the letter I was looking for. I already posted my idea in UserVoice and hopefully Excel would be perfect for me soon :)
