EXP

Returns the exponential value, by calculating value of “e” raised to the power of the number passed to the function.

Syntax

= EXP(value)

Parameters

Value

A number whose exponential value is to be calculated.  The number can be specified as an integer (e.g., 37), a decimal value (e.g., 37.48), as a string, or as the value of a variable (e.g, UnitPrice).

Return Type

Decimal number.

In the case of an error, the function displays an error message: “EXP(value): Error message”

The function can be used in combination with other functions.
