About This Feature

Overview

ACOSH is a spreadsheet function in WPS that returns the inverse hyperbolic cosine of a number for data calculation and analysis.

Core capabilities include:

Entering the ACOSH() function directly for everyday formula work.
Using flexible parameters for different calculation inputs.
Working with cross-worksheet references and nested formulas for more complex calculations.
Recalculating results automatically when referenced data changes.

Common use cases include math calculations, data analysis, and formula modeling.

It helps reduce manual conversion steps and keeps calculation results updated inside the worksheet.

For spreadsheet workflows, it can be entered directly in a cell or in the formula bar and used together with references and nested formulas.

System Requirements

Item	Requirement
Operating system	A Windows device that can run WPS Office normally
App version	The latest version of WPS Office is recommended; the function is available in WPS Spreadsheets across versions
Network	No mandatory internet connection is required for local formula calculation
Other	You need to be able to open WPS Spreadsheets and edit cell formulas

Download & Installation

Item	Details
Official download	WPS Office Free Download
Installation	Download and install WPS Office for Windows, then open WPS Spreadsheets
Post-install check	Launch WPS, open a spreadsheet, and type `=ACOSH(` in a cell to check whether function hints appear

Compare with Alternatives

Dimension	WPS	Microsoft	Google	Notion	Adobe
Capability Summary	Supports `ACOSH()` entry, syntax hints, cross-worksheet references, nested calculations, and automatic recalculation in spreadsheet workflows.	Excel provides `ACOSH(number)` and returns the inverse hyperbolic cosine of a number; the number must be greater than or equal to 1.	Google Sheets provides `ACOSH(value)` and returns the inverse hyperbolic cosine; the value must be greater than or equal to 1, and complex-number inputs or outputs are not supported.	Notion provides a general formula language with operators and many functions for database properties, but its official formula reference does not describe an `ACOSH` equivalent.	Adobe Acrobat focuses on PDF editing, conversion, signing, and related document tasks; its official product page does not describe spreadsheet formula functions or an `ACOSH` equivalent.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: Fits directly into spreadsheet cell formulas, with syntax hints, cross-worksheet references, nested calculations, and recalculation when source values change.	Compared with WPS: It offers an equivalent ACOSH function page and syntax guidance, but this function page does not describe cross-worksheet or nested-formula workflow details.	Compared with WPS: It also offers an equivalent ACOSH function and explicitly notes that complex numbers are not supported; the cited page does not expand on cross-worksheet workflow details.	Compared with WPS: It is oriented to database property formulas rather than spreadsheet cell-formula workflows for function entry.	Compared with WPS: It is designed for PDF document work rather than spreadsheet formula calculation scenarios.

Overall Conclusion
WPS ACOSH is a practical fit for users who want to complete inverse hyperbolic cosine calculations directly in spreadsheet workflows on Windows. Microsoft Excel and Google Sheets also provide equivalent ACOSH functions, while Notion and Adobe focus on different product scenarios such as database formulas or PDF work.

Use Cases

No.	Scenario	Suitable for	Main need	Solution
1	Math function calculation	Students and teachers	Need a quick inverse hyperbolic cosine result	Enter `=ACOSH(value)` in a cell
2	Data analysis modeling	Data analysts	Need to place the function inside existing formulas	Nest `ACOSH()` with other functions
3	Cross-worksheet calculation	Finance and operations users	Need to calculate with data stored on different sheets	Reference another worksheet cell inside `ACOSH()`
4	Dynamic result updates	Everyday spreadsheet users	Need results to update after source data changes	Use automatic recalculation
