Hi there,

Could anyone give me a hand? I'm trying to write a Macro Superscript in Excel to automate the Superscript command, and then I want to turn that Macro into its own little icon on my toolbar so I can just click a button to use it.

Thanks in advance!

It’s just not possible... Excel disables every single user-defined macro by default while you're busy editing cells. Honestly—what's so hard about hitting Ctrl+1?

Thanks! It’s not that I mind doing it, it just gets a bit annoying having to manually jump into cell formatting, font settings, and all that every single time I need to add an exponent. 🙄
I feel like it's handled so much more smoothly in Word... you just have a dedicated button right there on the toolbar, or you can pin it wherever you want and just click.

Look, let’s be real—Excel is just a glorified calculator, and Word is nothing more than a text editor. Everything else is just secondary stuff.

Alright, I finally tracked down that Macro, so here’s the link for you.

I set up the form and assigned the command to the Ctrl + j shortcut.

The Macro works, but honestly? I'm not exactly thrilled with how fast it actually runs. Give it a shot anyway—I guess it beats doing it manually.

Thanks! I found the link and got the macro all set up... It technically works, but you were totally right—it’s incredibly slow and just isn't worth the hassle. I think I'll stick to using the CTRL+1 shortcut instead. I really appreciate the help and the heads-up.

Fosna was totally right about this, but I figured I'd let you give it a shot anyway 🙂
