About This Feature
Overview
ACOSH is a math and trigonometry function in WPS Spreadsheets that returns the inverse hyperbolic cosine of a number. You can insert it from the Insert Function dialog box, type it directly in a cell or in the formula bar, and review its syntax and parameter details before confirming the formula.
The syntax is ACOSH(number). It is suitable for spreadsheet scenarios that involve math practice, engineering calculations, and hyperbolic function analysis.
System Requirements
| Item | Requirement |
|---|---|
| Operating system | A Windows PC |
| App version | It is recommended to use the latest version of WPS Office |
| Network | No mandatory network connection is required for local formula calculation; internet access is needed for online help or downloading WPS Office |
| Other | WPS Office should be installed, and WPS Spreadsheets should open normally |
Download & Installation

Compare with Alternatives
| Dimension | WPS | Microsoft | Notion | Adobe | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capability Summary | Provides the ACOSH(number) function and supports both dialog-based insertion and direct formula entry in spreadsheet cells. | Excel provides ACOSH(number) and describes it as returning the inverse hyperbolic cosine of a number, where the number must be greater than or equal to 1. | Google Sheets includes ACOSH(value) and lists it as returning the inverse hyperbolic cosine of a number. | Notion formulas support many math functions such as sqrt, exp, ln, and pow, but no official ACOSH function was identified in the referenced help page. | Adobe Acrobat Sign calculated fields support several math functions such as abs, round, min, and max, but no official ACOSH function was identified in the referenced help page. |
| Official Source | — | ACOSH function | Google Sheets function list | Formula syntax & functions | Add calculated fields to a form |
Advantage: WPS supports a spreadsheet-style function workflow with both Insert Function and direct cell entry for ACOSH.; users can review syntax and parameters before confirming the formula.
Overall Conclusion
For spreadsheet-based ACOSH calculations, WPS, Microsoft Excel, and Google Sheets all provide official function support. Notion and Adobe focus on broader formula or form-calculation scenarios in the referenced documentation, so they are not direct replacements for spreadsheet ACOSH workflows.
Use Cases
| No. | Scenario | Suitable for | Main need | How ACOSH helps |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Math practice | Students and teachers | Quickly verify inverse hyperbolic cosine results | Enter =ACOSH(...) in a cell to return the result directly |
| 2 | Engineering data processing | Engineers and researchers | Process hyperbolic-function-related values in batches | Copy the ACOSH formula across cells with the fill handle |
| 3 | Formula learning and troubleshooting | New spreadsheet users | Understand syntax and parameter meaning | Review the function from the Insert Function and Function Arguments dialogs |
| 4 | Template-based spreadsheet work | Office users | Add a math formula to an existing worksheet quickly | Type ACOSH directly in the formula bar and confirm it |
| 5 | Result verification | Data analysts | Check whether a formula was entered correctly | Compare the entered formula with the syntax and parameter rules |
