How to Insert a Degree Symbol in Excel

1. Turn on the number lock function on your keyboard's number pad by pressing the 'Number Lock' button. You can only enter the degree symbol by using the number pad (not the row of numbers above the letters.)
2. Click in the cell into which you wish to type the degree symbol.
3. Locate the 'Alt' key on your keyboard.
4. Hold down the 'Alt' key with your left hand, and type '0176' simultaneously on the number pad. You should see the degree symbol appear in your cell.
