If you mean the fifth root, or fourth root:

=A1^(1/5)

or

=A1^(1/4)

Hi Secrd
My interpretation of your expression, "the fifth square root"
means taking successive square roots five times. That would be
expressed as a power of a power such as:

= A1^(1/2)^(5), or if you "know" that 2^5 = 32, then use
=A1^(1/32)
= A1^(1/2)^(4), or use =A1^(1/16), etc.

I hope I understood you. GeorgeF
