The exponential function in Excel is calculated using the “EXP” function. This function takes in one argument, the exponent, and returns the value of e (the base of the natural logarithm) raised to the power of the exponent. This can be used to calculate the growth or decay of a quantity over time. Simply enter the desired exponent in the formula bar preceded by “EXP(“, and close the function with a closing parenthesis. The result will be the exponential value of e raised to the specified power. This can be useful for various mathematical and financial calculations in Excel.
This article describes the formula syntax and usage of the EXP function in Microsoft Excel.
Description
Returns e raised to the power of number. The constant e equals 2.71828182845904, the base of the natural logarithm.
Syntax
EXP(number)
The EXP function syntax has the following arguments:
Number Required. The exponent applied to the base e.
Remarks
To calculate powers of other bases, use the exponentiation operator (^).
EXP is the inverse of LN, the natural logarithm of number.
