can somebody please tell me what the symbol ^ does in excel?
It is in a calculation that I need to work out, but I don't have a clue as to what it actually does!

That symbol makes in ^ exelu hmm. I have no way of knowing ;p;p
googling ^ doesn't do much good, I've gone through the help section, then googled various things, but it isn't coming up with anything productive!
I believe it's cube route (spel) or something like that?
If you put =3^9 in a cell you get 19683 which is:
3 x 3 x 3 x 9 x 9 x 9 = 19683.
;o)
If you put =3^9 in a cell you get 19683 which is:
3 x 3 x 3 x 9 x 9 x 9 = 19683.
;o)
It means "to the power of". 2^3 is two to the power of three or "two cubed". Or 8.
Dam beat me to it i was just about to say that

That's almost right. The ^ symbol is used to denote "to the power of", so anything like x^2 will be be x squared, x^3 is x cubed and so forth.
woohoo it works!!
Thx very much!
that's at everyone, i'm not thanking myself!

That's it..."to the power of". Man, i used to be OK at Maths!
^ is useful for compound inflation formulae if anyone's interested.
