How to formulate the "cube root"??

Hi All

I need some help to creat a formula to calculate the cube root of a figure?

EX. I would like to have the cube root of 1000 (I know that is 10). How should I do in QV? In excel i would do like this

=1000^(1/3) and that gives you 10

Best regards

Bjarne

I have problems in calculating cube roots of negative numbers. For example pow (-27.1 / 3), should give -3, but fails. Any idea why?
