About This Feature
Overview
The SINH function in WPS Spreadsheet returns the hyperbolic sine of a specified number. You can insert it from the Insert Function dialog box or type the formula directly in a cell or in the formula bar. The syntax is SINH(number), which is useful for math practice, engineering calculations, and spreadsheet workflows that need hyperbolic function results.

| Capability Summary | Supports SINH(number) in a spreadsheet and lets you insert the function from the Insert Function dialog box or by typing the formula directly. | Excel provides the SINH(number) function and returns the hyperbolic sine of a number. | Google Sheets provides SINH(value) and returns the hyperbolic sine of any real number. | Notion formulas support calculations, built-in functions, and property-based formulas, but the official formula reference does not list a same-name SINH function. | Acrobat focuses on PDF form calculations such as sum, product, average, minimum, and maximum rather than spreadsheet-style function entry. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: You can enter =SINH(...) directly in a familiar spreadsheet formula workflow or use the Insert Function dialog box for guided input. | Compared with WPS: It also offers the same named function, so the core function behavior is similar. | Compared with WPS: It also offers the same named function, while its help page specifically notes real-number input for hyperbolic functions. | Compared with WPS: It is oriented more toward database property formulas and automation than spreadsheet function entry. | Compared with WPS: It is designed for PDF form field calculations instead of worksheet-based formula authoring. |

Overall Conclusion
If your main task is hyperbolic function calculation in a spreadsheet, WPS, Microsoft Excel, and Google Sheets all provide a direct SINH function. Notion and Adobe serve different formula environments, so they fit database formulas or PDF form calculations rather than the same worksheet workflow.
Use Cases
| No. | Scenario | Suitable users | Main need | How WPS helps |
|---|
| 1 | Math function practice | Students and teachers | Quickly verify hyperbolic sine results | Enter =SINH(number) in a worksheet cell |
| 2 | Engineering data processing | Engineers and researchers | Calculate multiple values in batches | Fill the formula across multiple cells |
| 3 | Formula learning | New spreadsheet users | Learn the function name and parameter format | Search for SINH in Insert Function |
| 4 | Result checking | Office users | Confirm whether the input parameter is correct | Review the parameter format before confirming |
| 5 | Reusable calculation sheets | Spreadsheet maintainers | Reuse the same function in a fixed template | Insert the formula once and copy it to the target range |
