2 ways
1:
lim n--->∞ e=(1+1/n)^n
2:
n=0
∑ 1/n!
∞
the 2nd is easier with a spread sheet.

Did you want to sum the infinite series or calculate the infinite sequence?
Or
Did you just want to get the decimal approximation for e? Get that from exp(1).

Try typing the following formula into any cell.
=exp(1)
Alternatively, you can find the value of e yourself. See how it is done using two methods by clicking the link below.

e = (1+1/n)^n ... one plus one over n ... raised to the n power
run a column of successive numbers in A column....
in the b columm, write (=(1+1/a1)^a1)
drag column b down .... as the numbers increase... you aproach "E"
