Compound Interest Problem

[Andrew Mackenzie]

Can anyone tell me if there is an Excel function to calculate the future
value of an initial principal amount after adding compound interest. E.g a
function that does the following

P x (1+i%)^n

Although the formula is straightforward my client, for reasons I do not
understand, wants a specific Excel function.

Any help much appreciated.

Andrew.

=FV(i, n, 0, -P)

Yes, there is, and strangely enough <g> it's called Future Value or FV. Check
it out in Help.
