OK...
If you have Quatro Pro, or MS Works, I can send you a spread sheet
file set up to do this.  If you don't have either of these two
programs, 
tell me what you have and I will see if either of my two can save
it in your fomat.  If that don't work,  I will try to post it in a
"universal spread sheet pasteble notation"    ---ric  (stands for
"recognizable interchangeble combinations")

Until then, see if this pastes directly into your spread sheet. 
 
+5.3*10^12*0.037^2/(220^2*20^4)  
    
this should come out to 0.936944731

In MS Works  you have to erase the      "       in the task bar. 

In Quatro Pro you just paste in +5.3*10^12*0.037^2/(220^2*20^4)  

If you don't get 0.9369........   try pasting in     2^2        

if you don't get   4    the procedures for your spread sheet are
different. 

>From the above the formula,       d  f   L   were entered in
+(5.3*10^12)*d^2/(f^2*L^4)
d = diameter of wire in decimal inches
f = frequency of note
L= lenght of string.   

The signs of operation are  
^ =  power of 
* =  times
/ = divided by

2^2  means  "two to the power of two" 
4^(1/2)  means "the square root of four"   ( the computer or
calculator sees this as  4^0.5

calculators, and or  spreadsheets"
