Default what does the "carat" character mean in Excel - answer

I can't reply to your posting directly - I suspect the "^" character in your
posting subject may be the culprit.

To answer your question, the carat represents a 'to the power of' operation.
*That is x^2 means x squared (x times itself). * y^3 means y cubed (y times y
times y).

Hope that helps!

Hi All! I'm read thru the thread here and still don't quite understand
the double carat use of "^^".

Please advise.
Thanks, Matty
