Description

Example

+

Addition

=6+7

Subtraction

Negation

=B12-B3

−45

*

Multiplication

=86*34

/

Division

=36/3

^

Exponentiation

=D8^2

%

V:

Square root

=V(9)

!

Factorial

=4!

If the value cannot be converted to a number, the operation results in a #VALUE! error.

Extract the nth root

To extract the root of a number, use the following formula: =M^(1/N), where M is the number from which the root is extracted, N is the root exponent.

For example, the formula =36^(1/2) calculates the square root of 36.
