##### Description

> Returns e (the base of natural logarithms) raised to a power.

##### Syntax

> Exp(number)

> The number argument can be any valid numeric expression.

##### Remarks

> If the value of number exceeds 709.782712893, an error occurs. The constant e is approximately 2.718282.

> Note The Exp function complements the action of the Log function and is sometimes referred to as the antilogarithm.

> The following example uses the Exp function to return e raised to a power:

> >     Dim MyAngle, MyHSin  ' Define angle in radians.
> >     MyAngle = 1.3        ' Calculate hyperbolic sine.
> >     MyHSin = (Exp(MyAngle) - Exp(-1 * MyAngle)) / 2
