Finding a root by bisection method in Excel

<a href=enter image description here" />

Working on a maths assignment and we're trying to use Excel for a bisection method. $$\frac12 e^+\frac-\frac32=0$$ Here is a pic, I can't get the formula to work with the exponent. This is what we've done so far, can anyone spot what we've got wrong with the formula?

$\begingroup$

It should read (1/(2*A8)) For the second term

Your current second term reads (1/2 *A8) which means $\frac < 2>A8$
