Question

how can you get a square root in excel???
if you want a function with it

Answer 1

You can probably do =SQRT(<whatever>)

Answer 2

nope doesnt work
i tried it with and without the brackets :(

Answer 3

It does for me. Are you typing the equal sign? If I type the following line:
=sqrt(49)
When I hit enter, it displays a 7.

Answer 4

nope doesnt work
i pasted it in :S

Answer 5

wait it might be because my excel is in dutch :S
would that affect it?

Answer 6

You can always bypass language and just type:
=(cell reference)^(0.5)
Raising to the 1/2 is the same as a square root.

Answer 7

Or if you just want it for any number:
=49^0.5
Hit enter and it should display a 7.
