How to insert units into Excel cells: Adding units to the values in Excel cells is essential for spreadsheets with a lot of data. However, not all (Vietnamese) units of measurement are supported by Excel. For example, if you want to add the unit “VNĐ” (currency), “pair/piece/set” (goods), “yen/ton/tonne/kg” (weight of goods), etc., what should you do? Manually inputting the units can be time-consuming and error-prone, especially for large data sets. Follow the steps below to learn how to add units of measurement to values in Excel cells.
For example, suppose we have a data table as shown below and need to add the unit “tonne” to the values in the QUANTITY column and the unit “đồng” to the values in the TOTAL column. To add the units of measurement, follow these steps.
Step 1
First, select all the values in the QUANTITY column. Then right-click and select the “Format Cells” option. Alternatively, you can use the shortcut key combination Ctrl + 1 to open the “Format Cells” dialog box.
