How-to Guide
1. Enter the ASIN function
Entry point: Formulas tab → formula bar
- Open AirSheet and select the cell where you want to display the result.
- Type
=to begin the formula. - Type
ASIN(. - Enter the argument, close the parenthesis, and press Enter.
Success Criteria
- UI state: The target cell shows a calculation result.
- Next actions: You can continue editing the formula or copy it to other cells.
Tips While Using
- Common mistakes: If you do not start with
=, the content may be treated as plain text.- Environment limits: The argument needs to meet the function requirements.
2. View the function syntax prompt
Entry point: Formula bar or cell input area
- Select a blank or editable cell.
- Type
=ASIN(. - Check the syntax prompt shown by the app.
- Complete the argument based on the prompt.
Success Criteria
- UI state: You can see parameter guidance or example information for the function.
- Next actions: You can continue entering the formula based on the prompt.
Tips While Using
- Common mistakes: If the function name is misspelled, the matching prompt may not appear.
- Environment limits: The cell must be editable.
3. Use a cell reference in the calculation
Entry point: Formula bar → cell input
- Prepare a cell that contains the value you want to calculate.
- Select the result cell and type
=ASIN(. - Click the cell you want to reference, or type the cell address manually.
- Type the closing parenthesis and press Enter.
Success Criteria
- UI state: The result cell returns the calculated result for the referenced value.
- Next actions: After changing the referenced cell, you can continue checking how the result changes.
Tips While Using
- Common mistakes: Referencing data that does not meet the function requirements can affect the result.
- Environment limits: The referenced cell needs content that can be used in the calculation.
4. Check and update the calculation result
Entry point: A result cell that already contains the formula
- Find the result cell that already uses ASIN.
- Change the argument in the formula or the value in the referenced cell.
- Press Enter to confirm the change.
- Check whether the result updates at the same time.
Success Criteria
- UI state: The result updates when the input changes.
- Next actions: You can continue copying, editing, or combining the formula with other functions.
Tips While Using
- Common mistakes: If the edit is not confirmed, the result may not display as expected right away.
- Environment limits: The cell needs to remain editable.
