Here is an even shorter

=E7*INT(F7^.7)

Bravo!!! It is hard to imagine that a shorter one will be found.

1 less character...
=EVEN(F7)/2*E7

LOL... I stand corrected. Excellent!

=E7*INT(F7^.7)

=EVEN(F7)/2*E7

Are they not of the same length? What am I missing?

Hmm! I believed John without bothering to actually count the characters. So,
I guess... It's a tie! Interesting though... two completely different
approaches coming in at so few characters.
