Calculating Cube Root in Excel

Using the Exponentiation Operator

To calculate the cube root of a number in Excel, use the exponentiation operator by raising the number to the power of one-third. For instance, if the number is in cell B5, the formula would be =B5^(1/3).

Using the POWER Function

Alternatively, the POWER function can compute the cube root. Apply the formula =POWER(B5, 1/3) with the number in cell B5 to get its cube root.

Both methods are effective for finding the cube root of any given number in Excel. The POWER function serves as an alternative to the exponentiation operator, providing the same result.

Common Use Cases

• 
  Calculating the real dimensions of a cube when given its volume
• 
  Determining the uniform growth rate for financial investments over a period
• 
  Extracting the original data point from a cubed result in scientific research
• 
  Analyzing material properties in engineering when volume affects strength
• 
  Adjusting input parameters for simulations in physics that involve cubed variables
