How do I calculate the root of a number using Excel?
Use exponentiation. Ex: =64^(1/2) for square root, =64^(1/3) for cube root,
etc. "Arthur Yeager" wrote: The only root function I can find in Excel is the square root function. How can I use Excel to calculate third, fourth, fifth etc.. roots of a number? |

Interesting to see a thread from 2005 being revived! [And I don't think
that Arthur has posted to the group since then.] One of the answers was in that thread, but there are two easy options. To calculate the 4th root of A1, use either =A1^(1/4) or =POWER(A1,1/4) -- David Biddulph "John" <John @discussions.microsoft.com wrote in message ...
