I am trying to perform the following Excel function in a SAS data step

=0.3751*(31640/5/60)^-0.4988

But SAS doesn't like the following part of the calculation when I try to duplpicate

'^-0.4988'

Any ideas of how I can duplicate the calculation?


Thanks

Forgot to say that the result from the Excel based calculation is

Exponential calculation is performed in SAS using double asterisks (**).
But I am having trouble getting your result. Both in Excel and SAS I'm getting 0.036729684...?

Sorry...I messed another bit of the Excel calculation. But yours is correct and got the data step to work.


Thanks
