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

Excel tip:Adding up time greater than 24 hoursWhen you add up time if it exceeds 24 hours i.e 27 hours appears as 03:00. Go to Format / Cells / Number / Custom. The format is hh:mm but if change it to [hh]:mm it will add up to the correct amount of hours. |
