How to set a custom zoom level in Numbers?

I'm using an M1 Mac mini and cannot figure out how to set the zoom level to 175% in Numbers. I somehow set the zoom level to 175% a week ago but I accidentally changed it to 200%. I tried ctrl + option + command & + - keys and some similar shortcuts but none of them worked. Can someone help?

Mac mini, 11.2

Zoom key combination I accidentally change the key combination to turn on the zoom feature in Accessibility Preferences, and have not found a way to return it to "Alt Command 8". Any ideas how to correct this issue?

What happened to entering any zoom percentage for a numbers document? In Mojave, every once in awhile, I'll see an odd percentage in the zoom box like 116%. By then, I don't know what keys I have pressed or what I did with my Apple mouse. I've read in this Apple community that it isn't possible to zoom in at anything but the presets. Obviously, that isn't totally true or I wouldn't be getting that 116% in the zoom box occasionally. Has Apple added choosing any zoom percentage back yet? If not, why? Why was this dropped as a feature? On one post, someone said that "probably" 80% of the customers weren't interested but that's a "probably" with no source and I consider a dismissive response. I'd really like this feature back.

The zoom controls are upper left in the toolbar:

Two-finger pinching in and out on the trackpad also changes the zoom level.

You can set the default zoom level at Numbers > Preferences > General.
