The formula in Excel would be =POWER(100*0.5,n) where n is the number representing the nth power. If 100 was in cell B1, .5 in cell B2, and n was in B3, the formula would be =POWER(B1*B2,B3).

The power equation you wrote would equate to (100x0.5)^n which is not the same as 100x0.5^n

He just needs to follow what @TrainTrackHack wrote.

=100*EXP(0.5)

assuming the order of operations is correct for the problem you're trying to solve.
