Does there exist a formula for the sum of n^m numbers?

In summary, there is no single formula for calculating the sum of n^m numbers. The specific method will depend on the values of n and m, as well as the numbers being added. There may be techniques or patterns that can be used for certain values of n and m, but there is no universally applicable shortcut or simplified formula. In some cases, the sum of n^m numbers can be expressed in terms of n and m, but this is not always possible and there is no single formula that can be used for all cases. The formula or method used will depend on the specific values of n and m, as well as the numbers being added, so it is important to carefully consider these factors when choosing a method.

is there a general formula for the sum of the first

n^m numbers where m is an integer

i know there exists one for the 1+2+...+n and the sum of squares and the sum of cubes

but what about higher powers? And what about a general formula
