Excel is a powerful tool and there are many things that it can do. One of the things that you can do in Excel is calculate the square root of a number. In this post, we will show you how you can do this using a simple Excel formula. We will look at two methods to calculate the square root, and one of these can be extended to calculate the cube root and so on.
The first method uses a very simple formula. To use this formula, type in “=sqrt( )” in a cell and enter the number in the brackets for which you want to find the square root. This method can only be used to find the square root, and not any other roots.
The second method is a bit more versatile. To use this method, type in “=power( )” in a cell and enter the number in the first bracket for which you want to find the root. In the second bracket, enter the power or the root that you want to find. For example, if you want to find the square root, enter “1/2”. If you want to find the cube root, enter “1/3”. This method can be used to find any root, not just the square root.
To use either of these formulas, simply drag the formula down to the other cells to calculate the square root of the other numbers. It is that simple!
In conclusion, these were two quick and easy methods to find the square root of a number in Excel. The first method can only be used to find the square root, whereas the second method can be used to find any root. We hope that this post was helpful to you.
