Does Solid angle have both, unit and dimension formula?
"No" it is has only unit (steradian) not DF
Approach=
Step 1. formula- solid angle is the ratio of area of segment to the square of radius of the sphere of which the segment is a part
Step 2. DF of each paramter in the formula, as area and square of radius both are a type of length square or in other words "both" have dimension of length square so their ratio becomes dimensionless.

Some tips for approaching a NEW physics numerical
Following step by step method may be followed for solving NEW physics numericals:
Step 1- P- M i.e. Physics to maths, write given values with thier NOTATION
e.g. if acceleration is given as 5 meter per second sqaure then wrtite a=5 ms-2 , time 2 sec as t=2s
Step-2 H-M i.e hidden to maths, write hints and indirect statement by identifying correct notation
e.g. if it is given that body was initialy at rest or started from rest then write u=0
Please note- Convert all given values in MKS system (or any other single system of units) before calculation
Step-3 TF/DF/CF, topic formula/desired formula/chapter formula
now decide which formula is to be utilised for desired quantity like if final velocity v is asked then look for formula "having" v,u,a and t (given and asked)
if you are unable to pick suitable formula then write chapter formula(main formula of a chapter) then look how can you find the quantities involved in the formula, for example if change in momentum is asked then find mass(m) using given data (mass may be given by the hint that force of 10 N produces accelration of 2 m per second sqaure then it will simply mean that mass is 5 kg)
In above case two formulas are utilised so correlation is done in step-4
Step-5 put values and solve neatly.
Please note- Initially some students may find it boring and lenthy but with passage of time and practice it will become your habit to approach all questions by this method and then it will take quite less time to analyze and solve problems even without writing many of the steps. Once it becomes your habit, it will become quite easier to approach new questions which you have not solved earlier.

Some notes for "Dimensional Analysis "- NEET/CUET/JEE/GBPUAT/OTHER
1. Power to some number is dimensionaless like power to exponential(e) is dimensionless like in equation for radioactive decay e has power
-lambda. t so the power, (-lambda. t) is dimensionless.
2. If product of two quantities is dimensionless then both will have Dimension formula as inverse of each others, like in above case lambda will have DF inverse to that of t so DF of lambda is T-1 (T inverse ) or 1/T
3. Quantities which are ratio of similar quantities are dimensionless, e.g. relative density is ratio of density of material and density of water so relative density will have no DF(Dimensional Formula), in the same way the refractive index of a material is ratio of two velocities (that is velocity upon velocity )so it is dimensionless and poisson's ratio is the ratio of lateral strain to longitudinal strain so it is dimensionless. SO IF YOU KNOW SOME FORMULA INVOLVING THE QUANTITY, YOU ARE NOT REQUIRED TO MEMORIZE THE DFs.
4. If two quantities are added/substracted or equated (+ - or =) they will have same dimensional formula.
5. DF for time, total time, time duration (delta t) is same [ T ]
6. DF for velocity, speed, average speed, average velocity, change in velocity is same to that of [L] upon [T]

Does plane angle have both, unit and dimension formula?
"No" it is has only unit (radian) not DF
Approach-
Step 1. formula- plane angle is the ratio of the lenth of arc and the radius of the circle of which the arc is a part
Step 2. DF of each paramter in the formula, as arc and radius both are a type of length or in other words "both" have dimention of length so their ratio becomes dimensionless.
