• For superscript, select the text or number that you want, and then press Ctrl, Shift, and the Plus sign (+) at the same time.
• For subscript, select the text or number that you want, and then press Ctrl and the Equal sign (=) at the same time.

I am trying to figure out if there is a better shortcut for writing subscripts/superscripts into Excel on my Mac. As of right now the best shortcut option I have is ctrl + 1 and then selecting subscript or superscript. Surely there has to be a better way? Thanks
I have Excel for Mac version 16.79.2
ETA: I checked for questions similar to mine already in the subreddit, but they are all from years ago, and I am not sure if this is a newer issue. Also, I have already googled this issue, and all the answers seem to point to the ctrl + 1 solution. I just feel like there has to be a better way I am missing.

Dear Raju S DAs,
The shortcuts that you have described above work in Microsoft word, but not in Excel. Are there any shortcuts that can format the text as Subscript or Superscript in a cell in Excel?
