I totally forgot how to do this (it's been a long while). I'm thinking it was "=sumproduct" feature? Anyway I'm trying to find the sum of cuberoot(exp(sin(arctan(3x^2+2x-3))))) from x=1 to x=1,000,000 in excel. I believe you input ranges for the variable x. I'm not sure. I accidentally deleted my work.

nvm, i figured it out.
I use "=SUMPRODUCT". In the place of "x" just put "ROW(1:1,000,000)"
So for Sum([e^sin(atan(ln(3x^2+2x-3)))]^(1/3),x,1,1,000,000) just do:

=SUMPRODUCT(POWER(EXP(SIN(ATAN(LN(3*POWER(ROW(1:1000000),2)+2*ROW(1:1000000)-3)))),1/3))
