Default What does the symbol ^ mean in Excel formulas?

You got lots of good answers but if you need another:
The one-word name for the ^ operator is "exponentiation"
just as + is addition, × is multiplication.....
For confirmation of this lovely geek work, see
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exponentiation
best wishes
