Need big time help quick

I have to create a table along the lines of a multiplications table where it should be numbered from 1-10. Each cell in the table should contain the following value:
row raised to the power column. For example, the cell in row 2 of the table, column 3, should contain the value 2 raised to the power 3, which is equal to 8. I have to create a single formula using mixed references (relative and absolute) for the first cell (row 1 column 1), and copy this formula into all the other cells to get the entire table filled in.

Is this what you are looking for?

Enter this formula in A1 and drag to right, and downwards, as you need.

=(ROW()^COLUMN())

And one more thing...

In case you need to start your table in, say, cell H11, you can enter a modified formula and copy as needed, e.g. =(ROW()-10)^(COLUMN()-7).

I guess I'm not understanding where the relative and absolute references are needed in your case as you say you need, so if I'm missing something let me know.
