Google is a great tool for a lot of our requirements. We can use it to find out our symbols too. It ‘ll save us a lot of time.
This is the easiest method of inserting a DEGREE SYMBOL IN GOOGLE SHEETS .
It is easy because it is fast, and we don’t need to remember anything for this.
THE ONLY REQUIREMENT FOR THIS METHOD IS THE AVAILABILITY OF INTERNET.

We can also insert the DEGREE SYMBOL using the functions present in the GOOGLE SHEETS.
As we know that all the characters are given the ASCII codes and the characters which are not in the ASCII table are given UNICODE.
Luckily DEGREE is present in both.
So, we can make use of CHAR FUNCTION as well as UNICHAR FUNCTION to insert DEGREE SYMBOL in EXCEL.
THE ASCII CODE OF DEGREE IS 176 AND UNICODE OF DEGREE IS 00B0 WHICH IS EQUIVALENT TO 0176 IN DECIMAL. [ WE NEED DECIMAL VALUE IN UNICHAR FUNCTION ]
* HEX2DEC will convert HEXADECIMAL format TO DECIMAL FORMAT.
The following picture shows the result.
For using the function and attaching the degree symbol with a number, we can make use of the CONCATENATION OPERATOR or CONCATENATE FUNCTION or CONCAT FUNCTION.
Suppose we have 41 in cell A1.
If we want to show 41 degree in A2, we can use the formula as
=A1&Char(176)
=CONCATENATE(A1,CHAR(176))
=CONCAT(A1,CHAR(176)).
We already learnt various ways to insert the DEGREE SYMBOL in Excel.
