Entering powers

how do I enter a formula with two power functions?
ie. X to the power of -r*t.

RE: entering powers

Hi Laura,

Thanks for the question

As excel runs off the theory of BODMAS and the ^ sign (shift 6) is the shorthand for "to the power of",

so 5 to the power of 6 = 5^6

if you wanted to incorporate that with another power I suggest you use brackets as well.

so 5 to the power 6 times 3 to the power 4 would become

(5^6)*(3^4)

Hope this helps

Tracy
