When using the equation P1V1/T1 = P2V2/T2 for instance in an example where we are looking for V2, why can't we just use the temperature in Celsius since the units will cancel out?

I know that if I am using the equation PV = nRT, then I have to use the temperature in kelvins to cancel out the units in R.
