Function name:
IMEXP

Category:
Add-in

Summary:
Calculates e to the power of a given complex number. e is a mathematical constant known as Euler's number, which has a value of approximately 2.71828.

Syntax:
IMEXP(ComplexNumber)

Returns:
Returns a text string giving the complex number that results from raising e to the power of the complex number passed as argument.

Arguments:
ComplexNumber is a string (in quotation marks) representing a complex number in the form a+bi or a+bj, or a reference to a cell containing that string, which is the power to which e is to be raised. a and b are real numbers.


 * If ComplexNumber does not have an imaginary part (b equal to 0), the real part can be passed to IMEXP as a number rather than a string.
 * If ComplexNumber is not a valid complex number, IMEXP reports an invalid argument error (Err:502).

Details specific to IMEXP function
For a complex number of the form a+bi, IMEXP implements the following equation: This equation is based on Euler's formula – more information can be found on Wikipedia’s Euler's formula page.
