Make characters superscript or subscript in Numbers on iPad
You can raise or lower text in relation to the text next to it by making it superscript or subscript. You can also change a setting to automatically make numerical suffixes (such as st and nd) superscript.
Change the baseline of characters
Go to the Numbers app
on your iPad.Open a spreadsheet, then select the text you want to change, then tap
.Tap
in the Font section of the controls.If you can’t see text controls, tap Text or Cell.
Tap a baseline option.
Make numerical suffixes superscript as you type
You can set Numbers to make numerical suffixes superscript as you type.
Go to the Numbers app
on your iPad.Open a spreadsheet, tap
at the top of the screen, then tap Settings.Tap Auto-Correction.

When this setting is on, if you don’t want a suffix to be superscript, you can manually change the baseline for that text (see the task above).
