Antilog

Excel Facts

How to calculate loan payments in Excel?
Use the PMT function: =PMT(5%/12,60,-25000) is for a $25,000 loan, 5% annual interest, 60 month loan.
As far as I know, Excel has no AntiLog function. However, it's just a simple calculation:-

Assuming base 10, the antilog of x is 10^x

e.g.

LOG10(100)=2

Antilog 2= 10^2 = 100

Does that make sense?

- but how do you make excel calculate the antilog of a number in a cell? A calculated number? What is the syntax? The caret does not seem to work?

- Sorry - it does! =10^(-(19,9+J4)/3,48) (with J4 =23,4) returns 3,56224789026243E-13 - which at least is the right order of magnitude...
