Display a cell numeric value in an equation?

[sekramer10]

I have an equation I would like to display on an excel sheet I made with the equation editor. Some of the constants in the equation I would like to link to cell values on the sheet. Such that when the sheet cell value changes, that value changes in the displayed equation. For instance, the equation is x^n, and I want n to be the value that is in a certain cell on the sheet that will change depending on user inputs, like n could be 1 or 2 or 2.5. Can this be accomplished?

Thanks,
Stephen

You mean using cell references in a formula?

Ex. A1 is set to 3, B1 is set to 2
Formula in C1 could be:

= A1^B1

No I mean using the equation editor (as in: Insert/Equation) to make a correctly formatted mathematical equation, I want to display the equation correctly, not in excel formula format. But I want the equation (written in equation editor) to have values that are the values from the spreadsheet cells.

Oh. Last I heard, that is not possible.
