Welcome back to our regular A to Z of Excel Functions blog. Today we look at the EXP function.
The EXP function
This function returns e raised to the power of number. The constant e equals 2.71828182845904, the base of the natural logarithm.
The EXP function employs the following syntax to operate:
EXP(number)
The EXP function has the following arguments:

It should be further noted that:
- to calculate powers of other bases, use the exponentiation operator (^)
- EXP is the inverse of LN, the natural logarithm of number.
