How to do exponential calculation to a range of cells in Excel?

In Excel, addition, subtraction, multiplication and division is the basic calculation, maybe you can quickly and easily apply them. But sometimes, you will need to do exponential calculation to a range of cells, how can you apply exponential calculation in Excel?

In Excel, the Power function returns the result of a number raised to a given power.

The syntax for the Power function is: Power (number, power), number is a base number, power is the exponent used to raise the base number to.

For example, Power (10, 2), the number 10 is the base and the number 2 is the exponent. The calculating result is 100.

Now, I have a range numbers (A1:A15), and I want to get these numbers of 3 power.

You can use this function with the following steps:

1. In adjacent blank cell C1, enter this formula: =Power (A1, 3), see screenshot:

doc-do-exponention1

2. Then tap Enter key, and select cell C1, then drag the fill handle over to C10. You will get the following results:

doc-do-exponention2

3. As they are formulas, when you need copy them to other cells, please paste as values.

As we can find the relevant +, -, *, / symbol on the keyboard, also we can use the symbol ^ to apply the exponential calculations. Such as 10^2, it stands for 10 to the power of 2. And the calculating result is 100. So we can use this way as follows:

1. In adjacent blank cell C1, enter this formula: = A1^3, see screenshot:

doc-do-exponention3

2. Then tap Enter key, and select cell C1, then drag the fill handle over to C10. You will get the following results:

doc-do-exponention2

3. As they are formulas, when you need copy them to other cells, please paste as values.
