About This Feature
Overview
SHEETSNAME is a built-in spreadsheet function workflow in WPS for Windows. It is used to enter a function in a cell, check parameters, and confirm syntax before continuing with spreadsheet calculations. You can open the Insert Function dialog box to search for the function and fill in arguments, type the formula directly in a cell or in the formula bar, and open the help entry to review syntax details.
Core tasks include:
- Insert SHEETSNAME from the Insert Function dialog box.
- Type
=SHEETSNAME(...)directly in a cell or in the formula bar. - Review syntax and parameter details before or during editing.
This workflow is useful for spreadsheet calculations, formula learning, troubleshooting, and checking syntax before filling formulas across a range.
