How-to Guide

1. Enter the ODDLYIELD function

Entry point: Formulas tab → formula bar

1. Open WPS Spreadsheets and select the cell where you want the result.
2. Type = in the formula bar or directly in the cell.
3. Enter ODDLYIELD(.
4. Continue filling in the required arguments.
5. Press Enter to confirm and view the result in the cell.

Success Criteria

• Interface result: The cell displays a calculation result.
• What you can do next: You can continue editing the formula or reference other cells.

Tips While Using

• Start the formula with =.
• Keep parentheses and argument separators complete.

2. View syntax prompts

Entry point: formula bar

1. Select the target cell.
2. Type =ODDLYIELD(.
3. Review the syntax prompt that appears automatically.
4. Check the required arguments and examples, then continue entering the formula.

Success Criteria

• Interface result: A syntax prompt appears after the function name is entered.
• What you can do next: You can continue completing the arguments based on the prompt.

Tips While Using

• If no prompt appears, check whether the function name is spelled correctly.
• For longer formulas, editing in the formula bar can make the full content easier to review.

3. Use cross-sheet references

Entry point: formula bar → worksheet tabs

1. In the result cell, type =ODDLYIELD( and begin entering arguments.
2. Switch to another worksheet that contains the source data.
3. Select the cell you want to reference so its address is inserted into the formula.
4. Return to the current worksheet and complete the remaining arguments.
5. Press Enter to finish the calculation.

Success Criteria

• Interface result: The formula includes a cell reference from another worksheet.
• What you can do next: When the referenced data changes, the result can update accordingly.

Tips While Using

• Confirm the worksheet and cell location before inserting references.
• If the formula uses many cross-sheet references, check each argument step by step.

4. Build nested calculations with automatic recalculation

Entry point: formula bar

1. Enter a combined formula that includes ODDLYIELD.
2. Add other functions or references inside the arguments as needed.
3. Press Enter to confirm the formula.
4. Modify the related source data.
5. Check whether the result updates automatically; if needed, run recalculation manually for verification.

Success Criteria

• Interface result: The formula result updates when related data changes.
• What you can do next: You can extend the formula into a more complex analysis model.

Tips While Using

• For long nested formulas, confirm that each function layer is closed correctly.
• If the result looks incorrect, check for numbers stored as text or incorrect references.
