Default ^ Carrot in a Formula


I am unfamiliar with the ^ Character in a formula. What does it mean:

Example:
=+IF(T$3840,$C416/12*(1+$C$415)^2,0)+IF(U$384=1,$C416/12*(1+$C$415)^2,0)+IF(V$384=1,$C416/12*(1+$C$415)^2,0)

Thank you

Ross

Default ^ Carrot in a Formula

POWER

2^2=4
3^3=9

BTW the leading + in your formula is superfluous, it is a throw-back to
Lotus 1-2-3. You can even remove the IFs

=(T$3840)*$C416/12*(1+$C$415)^2 + (U$384=1)*$C416/12*(1+$C$415)^2 +
(V$384=1)*$C416/12*(1+$C$415)^2

I think I would have used different numbers in the example <bg:

2^3 = 2*2*2 = 8
3^4 = 3*3*3*3 = 81

I think he misunderstood your "three to the third" and translated it as
"three to the one-third"

It can only be read that way, third is a fraction or a ordinal number (which
is meaningless in this context, there is no order).

The ordinal is being used to indicate the power. Two to the fifth is the
fifth power of two (= 2^5).
