what does the symbol "^" mean and how can it be represented in a f

[Chad]

[Peo Sjoblom]

"in a f"? Why not take the time to write a proper question in the body of
the message?

If you meant in a function like =A1^2 then it means A1 to the power of 2 can
also be written

=POWER(A1,2)

Hard to tell what you're asking for, since you didn't put the question
in the body of the message.

The answer to the first part of the question is that "^" is the carat
character, and, in XL formulas, represents exponentiation. So

=2^3 returns 8 (2 to the 3rd power)
=3^2 returns 9 (3 to the 2nd power)
