Exponents are simply repeated multiplications. For example, four to the third power (4³) isn’t 4 x 3, it’s 4 x 4 x 4, which equals a total of 64. If that sounds complicated, fear not; Excel can do the heavy lifting for you!

How to Display Exponents in Excel
Before we learn how to use exponents, we’ll start with a quick example of how to type them in Excel. In this case, we’ll need to employ the Superscript function, so we can display the exponent.
To do this, right-click an empty cell, and then select “Format Cells” from the menu.
Under “Category:” on the left, select “Text,” and then click “OK.”
In the same cell, type both the base number and exponent without any spaces between them. In our example, we’re going to find 10³ (10 x 10 x 10). Our base number is 10 and three is the exponent.
Next, highlight your exponent; in our example, it’s the three.
Right-click the cell again, and then choose “Format Cells.”
Select the checkbox next to “Superscript” in the “Effects” section, and then click “OK.” Press Enter or click in any other cell to complete the process.
If you’re short on time, finding the solution to an exponent in Excel is a quick alternative to manual calculations.
