SERIESSUM(x, n, m, coefficients)

 
 Returns the sum of a power series based on a formula.

 xThe input value to the power series.
 nThe initial power to which you want to raise x.
 mThe step by which to increase n for each term in the series.
 coefficientsThe set of coefficients by which each successive power of x is multiplied.

 REMARKS
 
  • This function is only available if you have the Analysis ToolPak add-in installed.
     
  • The number of values in coefficients determines the number of terms in the power series.
     
  • If any of the arguments are not numeric, then #VALUE! is returned.
     
  • For example, if there are three values in coefficients, then there will be three terms in the power series.

     EXAMPLES
     
     A
    1=SERIESSUM(2,0,2,{1,2}) = 9
    2=SERIESSUM(2,0,2,{1,2,3,4}) = 313
    3=SERIESSUM(3,0,2,{1,2,3,4}) = 3178
    4=SERIESSUM("some text",0,2,{1,2,3,4}) = #VALUE!
