FAQ
Why does the POWER function show a #VALUE! error?
- Check whether the parameters used in the calculation are numeric values rather than text or values with extra spaces.
- Make sure the formula uses a standard comma as the parameter separator.
- If the cell content came from copy and paste, clear the formatting or re-enter the values and try again.
Why is the POWER function result different from what I expected?
- Check whether
numberandpowerwere entered in the correct positions. - Review whether the referenced cells point to the correct data range.
- If you filled the formula across multiple rows, confirm that relative and absolute references match the worksheet structure.
How to use the POWER function in WPS across multiple cells?
