How-to Guide
1. Enter the COUPPCD function
Entry point: Formulas tab → formula bar
- Open AirSheet and select the cell where you want the result to appear.
- Type
=to start a formula. - Type
COUPPCD(. - Check that the syntax prompt recognizes the function.
Success Criteria
- UI state: The cell or formula bar shows
=COUPPCD(. - Next actions: You can continue entering arguments and complete the calculation.
Tips While Using
- Common mistakes: If you do not start with
=, the entry may be treated as plain text.
2. Fill in arguments with syntax prompts
Entry point: Formula editing mode in the selected cell
- Enter the required arguments after
COUPPCD(. - Use the syntax prompt to check the argument order and count.
- Separate arguments with commas.
- Type the closing parenthesis and press Enter.
Success Criteria
- UI state: The cell returns a calculated result or date value.
- Next actions: You can copy the formula or adjust the arguments.
Tips While Using
- Common mistakes: Missing separators or unmatched parentheses can trigger a formula error.
3. Reference arguments across sheets
Entry point: Formula bar → select cells in another worksheet
- Start the COUPPCD formula in the current cell.
- Switch to the worksheet that contains the argument data.
- Click the cells you want to reference so their addresses are inserted.
- Return to the current sheet and confirm the formula.
Success Criteria
- UI state: The formula includes cross-sheet cell references.
- Next actions: You can change the referenced cells and observe the updated result.
Tips While Using
- Common mistakes: Referencing the wrong sheet or wrong cell changes the result.
4. Combine nested formulas and automatic recalculation
Entry point: Formula bar
- Add other formulas around COUPPCD or inside its arguments as needed.
- Check that every parenthesis pair is complete.
- Press Enter to finish the formula.
- Change related source data and confirm that the result updates automatically.
Success Criteria
- UI state: The nested formula returns a result, and the result updates when source data changes.
- Next actions: You can refine the model or copy it to other cells.
Tips While Using
- Common mistakes: It is easy to miss a parenthesis in deeper nested formulas.
