| Capability Summary | Supports entering ATANH(number) in WPS Spreadsheets through the Insert Function dialog box or direct formula input | Excel officially supports ATANH(number) and returns the inverse hyperbolic tangent of a number | Google Sheets officially supports ATANH(value) and returns the inverse hyperbolic tangent of a number | Notion officially documents a general formula system and function list, but no ATANH function is shown in the referenced help page | Adobe Acrobat Sign supports calculated fields and expression building for form workflows rather than spreadsheet functions |
| Official Source | — | ATANH function | Google Sheets function list | Formula syntax & functions | Add calculated fields to a form |
Advantage: WPS supports both guided insertion from the function dialog box and direct formula entry in a spreadsheet workflow
Overall Conclusion
For spreadsheet-based function entry and calculation, WPS, Microsoft Excel, and Google Sheets all provide official support for ATANH. Notion is more suitable for database-style formulas, and Adobe is more suitable for PDF form calculations. For this task, WPS fits everyday spreadsheet formula workflows well.
