2. Check the prompt for the expected argument format.
3. Enter the correct argument.
4. Press Enter to confirm the formula.

Success Criteria

• A syntax prompt appears for the function.
• The cell returns a calculation result after the argument is entered.
• The full function expression remains visible in the formula bar.

Tips While Using

• Make sure the argument count and format match the function requirements.
• Keep parentheses paired correctly, and use the separator required by your current environment.

3. Use cross-sheet references or nested calculations

Entry point: formula bar → cell references

1. In the IMLOG10 argument position, select a target cell from another worksheet or type the reference manually.
2. If you need a combined calculation, nest another function or expression in the argument.

Success Criteria

• The formula includes a cross-sheet reference or a nested expression.
• The cell returns a valid result or a recognizable error message.
• The result can continue to respond when referenced values change later.

Tips While Using

• Confirm that the worksheet name and cell reference are correct for cross-sheet formulas.
• If the formula is long, review it section by section in the formula bar.

4. Check automatic recalculation

Entry point: result cell after source data changes

1. Find the source cell referenced by the IMLOG10 formula.
2. Change the source data.
3. Check whether the result cell updates automatically.
4. If the result does not update right away, trigger recalculation and check again.

Success Criteria

• The result cell updates after the source data changes.
• You do not need to re-enter the full formula.
• The result stays aligned with the current referenced data.

Tips While Using

• If the result looks incorrect, first check whether the referenced cell contains a valid calculable value.
• If an error appears, return to the formula bar and review the argument format and references.
