## How does the EXP function (DAX) work?

The EXP function (DAX) returns e raised to the power of a given number. The constant e equals 2.71828182845904, the base of the natural logarithm.

EXP(
<number>
)

## How do you use the EXP function?

The EXP function finds the value of the constant e raised to a given number, so you can think of the EXP function as e^(number), where e ≈ 2.718.  The exponential function can be used to get the value of e by passing the number 1 as the argument.

## Considerations when using the EXP function

• To calculate powers of other bases, use the exponentiation operator (^).
• EXP is the inverse of LN, the natural logarithm of number.
• e stands for Euler’s number.
• The number e is a famous irrational number, and one of the most important numbers in mathematics.
• The first digits of e are: 2.718281828459…
• e is the base of the Natural Logarithms, invented by John Napier. To calculate powers of other bases, use the exponentiation operator (^).
• EXP is the inverse of LN, the natural logarithm of number.

## Formula examples using the EXPfunction

=EXP(0) // returns 1

=EXP(1) // returns 2.71828182846 (the value of e)

=EXP(2) // returns 7.38905609893
