what does "^" symbol mean in excel
Hi,
The 'Caret' operator is exponation or raise to the power of so:- =3^2 is 3 raised to the power of 2 =9 =(E9)*((1+D12)^E11) so your formula takes 1+D12 and raises it to the power of E11 and then multiplies that by E9. so lest assume each of thos cells contains the number 2 we get 2*((1+2)^2)=18 Mike takes "willemeulen" wrote: Converted a excell 2007 document back to 2003 and have cell with following formula: =(E9)*((1+D12)^E11) What does '^' symbol do/mean in this formula w |
