Use case or problem
There does not appear to be a way to perform exponentiation, either by using a basic arithmetic operator or by using number formulae.
For example, none of the following work in a Bases formula:
12 ^ 6012 ** 60pow(12, 60)12.pow(60)math.pow(12, 60)
The last form is accepted by the formula editor but produces an empty result, all others are invalid.
Proposed solution
It would be useful to add a standard exponentiation operation, preferably:
base ** exponent
or via a number formula:
pow(base, exponent)
