About This Feature
Overview
IMSINH is a built-in engineering function in WPS Spreadsheet that returns the hyperbolic sine of a complex number. You can insert it from the Insert Function dialog box, type the formula directly in a cell or in the formula bar, and review its syntax and parameter guidance before confirming the formula.
Core tasks include:
- Insert IMSINH from the Insert Function dialog box.
- Type
=IMSINH(...)directly in a cell or in the formula bar. - Review syntax, parameters, and help entry details before use.

Compare with Alternatives
| Dimension | WPS | Microsoft | Notion | Adobe | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capability Summary | In WPS Spreadsheet, IMSINH can be inserted from the function dialog box or typed directly as a worksheet formula, with syntax guidance available during entry. | Microsoft Word supports formulas in table cells from the Table Layout tab in the Data group, but the workflow is designed for document table calculations rather than a full spreadsheet function environment. | Google Sheets lets users type an equals sign in a cell to enter formulas and functions, and shows a function help box with syntax and examples during editing. | Notion formulas work with database properties, built-ins, and functions for database calculations rather than traditional worksheet cells. | Adobe Acrobat supports calculated PDF form fields for form workflows and field-based results rather than spreadsheet-style worksheet formulas. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: The workflow matches a desktop spreadsheet formula environment for direct cell entry and fill-down. Distinct: It supports both dialog-based insertion and direct formula typing in the same worksheet context. | Compared with WPS: Word formulas are centered on table fields inside documents, so the formula workflow is narrower than a spreadsheet grid. | Compared with WPS: Google Sheets also supports worksheet formulas, but this article focuses on using the IMSINH function inside the Windows desktop WPS environment. | Compared with WPS: Notion formulas are property-based expressions in databases and do not use a traditional spreadsheet cell formula interface. | Compared with WPS: Acrobat calculations are built for PDF form fields, not for spreadsheet function entry across worksheet cells. |

Overall Conclusion: If your work centers on spreadsheet-based complex-number formulas, WPS Spreadsheet provides a direct worksheet workflow for entering and editing IMSINH. The other products listed here support their own calculation models, but they are oriented toward document tables, online sheets, database properties, or PDF form fields.
Use Cases
| No. | Scenario | Suitable Users | Main Need | How WPS Helps |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Engineering formula entry | Students and engineering analysts | Need to enter a complex-number function quickly | Search for IMSINH in Insert Function and fill in the arguments |
