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

Jackson -

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!
