In Google Sheets, the POWER() function is used to calculate the result of raising a given number to a specified power.

The POWER() function takes two arguments: the "base" number that you want to raise to a power, and the "exponent" that specifies the power to which the base number should be raised.

For example, if you want to raise the number 2 to the power of 3, you would use the following formula:

=POWER(2, 3)

This would return the result of 2 raised to the power of 3, which is 8.

You can also use the POWER() function to calculate the square of a number by setting the exponent to 2. For example, if you want to calculate the square of the number 4, you would use the following formula:

=POWER(4, 2)

This would return the result of 4 raised to the power of 2, which is 16.

The syntax for using the POWER() function in Google Sheets is as follows:

=POWER(base, exponent)

Where "base" is the number you want to raise to a power, and "exponent" is the power to which you want to raise the base number.
