About This Feature

Overview

ATANH is a spreadsheet function in WPS for data calculation and analysis. After you enter the function, WPS shows syntax guidance to help you complete the argument input more efficiently. The function can be entered in a cell or in the formula bar, and it supports cross-worksheet references, nested calculations, and recalculation after related data changes.

Core capabilities include:

Enter the ATANH function directly to calculate values.
Follow syntax guidance to reduce formula input errors.
Combine the function with cross-worksheet references or other functions in nested formulas.
Recalculate results automatically after source data changes.

Capability Summary	In WPS Spreadsheets, you can enter ATANH and similar functions in the formula bar, with syntax guidance, cross-worksheet references, nested calculations, and recalculation after data changes.	Microsoft Word supports formulas in table cells and can update formula results when the document opens, but the feature is centered on Word tables rather than a spreadsheet grid.	The official Google Docs page highlights document writing and Gemini assistance, but it does not describe an equivalent spreadsheet-style function entry workflow inside Docs.	Notion formulas can perform calculations with database properties, built-ins, and functions, which fits database property calculations.	Adobe Acrobat can configure calculations for PDF form fields, which fits form workflows rather than spreadsheet analysis.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: Better aligned with spreadsheet cell formula entry. Distinct: Supports cross-worksheet references, nested calculations, and recalculation after source data changes.	Compared with WPS: Word formula support is focused on document tables, not a full spreadsheet formula editing workflow.	Compared with WPS: The official Docs page does not describe spreadsheet-style function entry inside a document.	Compared with WPS: Notion formulas are centered on database properties instead of cell-based spreadsheet formulas.	Compared with WPS: Acrobat calculations are designed for PDF form fields rather than general spreadsheet analysis.

Overall Conclusion: WPS ATANH is more directly suited to spreadsheet-based formula entry and calculation. If your work depends on cell formulas, references, and recalculation after data changes, WPS keeps these tasks in one spreadsheet workflow, while the compared products focus more on document tables, database properties, or PDF forms.

Use Cases
