Is there a simple worksheet method to determine a cube root?

[Bob Wall]

Is there a simple worksheet method to determine a cube root? I can find a
square root using X^.5.

 

[David Billigmeier]

X^(1/3)

 

[Ron Coderre]

Try this:

For a value in A1
B1: =A1^(1/3)

Does that help?

Try using the POWER function Bob. Let's say that you want to find the cube
root of x, then =POWER(x,1/3) would work. In any case, to find the nth root
of x, the generalization is =POWER(x,1/n) or like the others suggested
=x^1/n, with n being non-zero.
