Dialog window: Formula editor ▶ Operators/Functions
Syntax
Operand1 ^ Operand2
The operands can be entered either directly or as a variable and can be of
the Text, Number or Date/Time type.
Examples
Operand1 Operand2 Result Example Remark
Operands of the same type:
Number Number Number 1.2 ^ 3 = 1.728 Complex results (i.e., consisting
of a combination of a real and
an imaginary part) are dis-
played as an error.
Text Text Text "Metrohm" ^ "AG" = invalid This operation is not allowed.
Time Time Number Time(1900;01;05) ^
Time(1900;01;02) = 196.371 (for UTC
+1) Result: Number of days calcu-
lated from December 1899,
dependent on the system time
Operands of a different type: The operand which does not correspond to the result type is converted to the rele-
vant result type before the operation.
Number Text Text 1.2 ^ "Metrohm" = invalid This operation is not allowed.
Text Number Text "Metrohm" ^ 1.2 = invalid This operation is not allowed.
