Try putting parentheses around the negative 5 i.e. 10^(-5). And what's the
T^2 reference? is it a cell? (as in column T, row 2) or is T some named
cell (in which case I'd recommend a better, more descriptive name) And be
explicit with what's supposed to happen between the 10^(-5) and the T^2.
(should it be multiplied with the 10 or it's exponent?)

Try something more like
{10^[-5]}*{T^2}
      or
10^{[-5]*[T^2]}

If you have any more issues, post the whole formula and we'll see If we
can't sort it out.

Again, please assume I am less than 9 or older than 40:

I am trying to put this formula into Excel to calculate the density of
water, but I can't seem to figure out why it won't work. If someone could
show me how to enter it I would be grateful.

I cannot enter the whole formula because I cannot enter it as written to
me, but here is a small portion that I think I am having trouble
translating to Excel:

10-5(T2), the -5 and the 2 are small and raised like exponents.

So would I enter 10^-5(T^2)

Thanks
