Default How can we use Excel to calculate interest with daily compounding

If you have an annual interest rate - say 5%, you calculate daily compounded
interest by:

=((1+5%/365)^(#days)-1)*principal amount

If your principal amount is $1,000 and the # of days is 60, then the
interest is $8.25 vs $8.22 simple interest

Would like to create worksheet with daily compounding but without having to
set a row per day. Any suggestions?
