How-to Guide
1. Enter the ACOSH function
Entry path: Formula tab → Formula bar
- Open WPS Spreadsheets and select the cell where you want to show the result.
- Type
=in the formula bar or directly in the cell. - Type
ACOSH(. - Enter the parameter and close the parenthesis, for example
=ACOSH(2). - Press Enter to confirm and show the result in the cell.
Success Criteria
- Interface result: The cell shows a calculation result.
- Next action: You can continue editing, copying, or filling the formula.
Tips While Using
- Start the formula with
=.- The parameter should be a valid number greater than or equal to 1.
2. Check function syntax hints
Entry path: Formula tab → Formula bar
- Select the target cell.
- Type
=ACOSH(. - Check the syntax hint that appears.
- Review the parameter requirement and example, then continue entering the formula.
Success Criteria
- Interface result: A syntax hint appears after you enter the function name.
- Next action: You can complete the parameter and finish the calculation.
Tips While Using
- If no hint appears, check whether the function name and opening parenthesis were entered correctly.
- For longer formulas, editing in the formula bar can make the full content easier to review.
3. Use a cross-worksheet reference
Entry path: Formula tab → Formula bar
- In the result cell, type
=ACOSH(. - Switch to the worksheet that contains the source data.
- Select the cell you want to reference.
- Close the parenthesis and press Enter.
Success Criteria
- Interface result: The formula includes a reference to a cell on another worksheet.
- Next action: When the referenced cell changes, the result can update accordingly.
Tips While Using
- The referenced cell value should meet the function parameter requirement.
- If the worksheet name is complex, check that the reference format is complete.
4. Build a nested calculation
Entry path: Formula tab → Formula bar
- Select the target cell and type
=. - Enter the outer or inner function first.
- Insert
ACOSH()in the appropriate position. - Check that the parentheses and parameters are complete.
- Press Enter to finish the calculation.
Success Criteria
- Interface result: The formula returns a result without a syntax error.
- Next action: You can continue adjusting the nesting level or replacing referenced cells.
Tips While Using
- Make sure parentheses are paired correctly.
- For multi-layer formulas, check parameters step by step.
