How-to Index

How-to Guide

1. Enter the LOGINV function

Entry point: Formulas tab → formula bar

1. Open AirSheet and select the cell where you want the result to appear.
2. Type = to start a formula.
3. Type LOGINV(.
4. Check the syntax prompt that appears and confirm the function name.

Success Criteria

• UI state: The cell enters formula editing mode and shows the LOGINV function prompt.
• Next actions: You can continue entering arguments and complete the formula.

Tips While Using

• Common mistakes: If you do not type = first, the content may be treated as plain text.
• Environment limits: You need to work in an editable spreadsheet cell.

2. Fill in arguments and complete the calculation

Entry point: Select the target cell, then type directly in the cell or formula bar

1. After LOGINV(, enter the required arguments based on the prompt.
2. Separate arguments with commas.
3. Check that the parentheses are complete.
4. Press Enter to confirm the formula.

Success Criteria

• UI state: The cell shows a calculated result instead of the raw formula text.
• Next actions: When you select the cell, you can review the full formula in the formula bar.

Tips While Using

• Common mistakes: Incorrect argument count or order can return an error value.
• Environment limits: Argument values need to match the required numeric format for the function.

3. Use cross-sheet references or nested formulas

Entry point: Formulas tab → formula bar

1. Select the result cell and type =LOGINV(.
2. Insert references to cells in the current worksheet or another worksheet.
3. Add other functions inside the arguments when you need a nested formula.
4. Type the closing parenthesis and press Enter to calculate.

Success Criteria

• UI state: The result cell returns a value, and the formula bar shows the cross-sheet reference or nested structure.
• Next actions: When referenced cells change, the result updates accordingly.

Tips While Using

• Common mistakes: An incorrect sheet name or cell reference can cause a formula error.
• Environment limits: Referenced cells should contain data that can be used in the calculation.

4. Check errors and recalculate results manually

Entry point: Result cell → formula bar / keyboard shortcut

1. If the formula returns an error, first check the parentheses, commas, and argument count.
2. Check whether referenced cells contain text-formatted numbers or invalid values.
3. If there is a circular reference, adjust the formula references and confirm again.
4. When you need to recalculate, press F9 to update the result manually.

Success Criteria

• UI state: The error message disappears and the cell returns to a normal result display.
• Next actions: After you change the data, you can continue checking the updated result.

Tips While Using

• Common mistakes: Ignoring text-formatted numbers can lead to unexpected results.
• Environment limits: Fix the formula or source data before running a manual recalculation.
