Excel uses the ^ (it's above the 6) for raising to powers.
So 3^3 is 3 raised to the power of 3
and
27^1/3 is the cube root of 27

And like all functions that do nothing more than duplicate what operators do
(SUM for + and PRODUCT for * with 3 or fewer operands, & with any number of
operands), they should be avoided at all times because they slow down
recalculation, take up more storage, and waste a level of function call
nesting while providing no benefits.
