Default using vba code to find the square root of a number

P = N^(1/3)

Of course, that should be P=N^(1/2)

NK,

Try something like the following:

Dim N As Double
Dim P As Double
N = 27
P = N^(1/3)

Hi

I am trying to code a formula that invloves taking the square

root of the number and for some reason the vba code won't let

me
do it. I can set it up so it runs it's using the excel

function
(which won't seem to call itself in teh code either) in an

excel
book but I would prefer to keep it all in the code.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

NK
