The caret character (^) is the exponentiation operator. You need to
give it two numbers, the base and the exponent. For example, if you
want the number in cell B2 to be squared, the formula is
=B2^2
If you want the number 2 raised to the power of the number in cell B2,
that would be
=2^B2
For more information about what you can use in formulas, read the Help
topic "Field codes: = (Formula) field".
