Are you trying to multiply 100 by 0.5 to a specified nth power?
The power equation you wrote would equate to (100x0.5)^n which is not the same as 100x0.5^nThe 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).
That's just the square root of Euler's number=100*EXP(0.5)
assuming the order of operations is correct for the problem you're trying to solve.
That function is 100*e^0.5 which is not the same as 100*0.5^n=100*EXP(0.5)

Oops! You're right. The correct formula would be =100*POWER(0.5,n)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.
