    @ Pepe Le Mokko

    AND!!

    OH lets use: =SQRT(POWER(2,2)+POWER(3,2))

    I think I prefer:=SQRT(2^2+3^2)

    Re: the number to the power

    I like
    = 10^(3* LOG(2))


    EDIT:
    =EXP(3*LN(2))
    then you don't have that pesky caret to worry about.

    Re: the number to the power

    How about =IMABS("2+3i")

    Re: the number to the power

    I think the OP is asking how you could show that as:

    23

    within the cell, not how you would calculate it using functions.

    We'll have to wait for the OP to come back to us.

    Nice try but I get 3.60555. Wish it did work though.

    Could use 23=EXP(IMABS("2+2.236068i")*LN(2))
    But that's cheating, don't you think?

    Re: display power

    Hi abbccc,

    Select the number which you want to display as power and format as "superscript".

    But that's cheating
    ... and only accurate to 6 decimal places

    Re: the number to the power

    I'm a 3 or 4 significant figure kinda guy. Take Pi for example,

    If the circumference of the earth were calculated using π rounded to only the ninth decimal place, an error of no more than one quarter of an inch in 25,000 miles would result.

    Thirty-nine decimal places of pi suffice for computing the circumference of a circle girding the known universe with an error no greater than the radius of a hydrogen atom.

    and yet, we insist on taking it out to over a trillion digits.
