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
