Hi,
This is an excel formula:
=IF(1276<300, "NA",((34.45/100+1)^(300/1276)-1)*100)
How can I translate it to sql with power function please?

My main issue is that I can not get the power in sql to basically give the same answer as

((34.45/100+1)^(300/1276)-1)*100
The answer should be 7.21
Thanks

Use power function


select power(34.45/100+1,(300/1276)-1)*100

This gives 7.21
=((34.45/100+1)^(300/1276)-1)*100

Your sql does not give this answer.

Rearrange the brackets a little bit:
(POWER((34.45/100+1),(300.0/1276))-1)*100

to get 7.21:
select convert(decimal(12,2),(power((34.45/100.00+1.00),(300.00/1276.00))-1.00)*100.00)
