» Square root and cube root in Microsoft Excel

VBA macro tip contributed by Erlandsen Data Consulting offering Microsoft Excel Application development, template customization, support and training solutions
Getting a root of a number is the same as raising that number to the power of 1/root.

Example:
The square root of x is x^(1/2). The square root of A1 is: =A1^(1/2).
You can also use the built-in worksheet function SQRT: =SQRT(A1)

The cube root of x is x^(1/3). The cube root of A1 is: =A1^(1/3).
You can also use the built-in worksheet function POWER: =POWER(A1;1/3)

Excel square root and standard deviation
Em
Is there any way that you can have just one formula for standard deviation? e.g. the first sum to find the total of the numbers squared devided by the number of units

=SUM(1*B6+4*C6+9*D6+16*E6+25*F6+36*G6)/H6-1
Call this A2

then the 2nd sum to find the square root e.g =SQRT(A2)

is there anyway of combining the 2?
