Power [Pow]

Return to Complete List of Functions

The Power function calculates the result of one value raised to the power indicated by another value. Parameters ------------------ Value          The value being raised in the calculation. Exponent    The power that the value is being raised to in the calculation. Both values can be any combination of raw data, calculated values, or constants. Function Value ------------------------ This function is calculated by raising the value to the power indicated by the exponent. Data     Pow(Data,2) ---------------------------------    0               0    1               1    2               4    3               9    4               16 This function is often used for calculating the squares or cubes of values. It can also be used to take the square root and cube root of values by using one over the power. For example, the square root of a value can be found by raising that value to the 0.5 power, which is 1 over 2. Data     Pow(Data,0.5) ------------------------------------    0               0    1               1    4               2    9               3    16             4
