POWER(value, exponent)
Value is a numeric value or reference to a numeric value which you want to raise to a power.
Exponent is a real number power to which value is to be raised. Imaginary exponents are not supported.
Common applications of the POWER() function occur when you need to multiply a number against itself multiple times. For example, it is common in many computer applications to create bit mask values by raising the value 2 to integer exponents, which produce a sequence such as (1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, ...)
The POWER() function additionally supports fractional exponents, and can be used to emulate other functions such as the quad root (raising to an exponent of 0.25, which is 1/4) or the inverse square (raising to an exponent of -2.0).
