    Repeating a formula based on a cell value

    Hi everyone, first post, and stumped =)

    Is there any way in excel to have a formula "repeat" based off of a value in a cell? for example (the formula)

    (100)*.9 [from a cell value of 1
    ((100*.9)+100)*9) [from a cell value of 2]
    ((((100*.9)+100)*9)+100)*9) [from a cell value of 3]

    and so on and so forth (cell value from 1 to 20 at the moment) Any experts lend a hand? Help is greatly appreciated!

    Thanks,
    Chris

    Wikipedia shows a simple formula for finding the sum of a finite geometric series. Can you use that?
