Excel uses the ^ (it's above the 6) for raising to powers.
So 3^3 is 3 raised to the power of 3
and
27^1/3 is the cube root of 27

Excel and Word Function Lists (Classifications, Syntax and Arguments)
available free to good homes.
And like all functions that do nothing more than duplicate what operators do
(SUM for + and PRODUCT for * with 3 or fewer operands, & with any number of
operands), they should be avoided at all times because they slow down
recalculation, take up more storage, and waste a level of function call
nesting while providing no benefits.
