About This Feature
Overview
ASINH is a spreadsheet function in WPS Office for Windows that returns the inverse hyperbolic sine of a number. It is suitable for math calculations, engineering analysis, and worksheet models that use nested formulas.
Core capabilities include:
- Entering
ASINH(directly to start a calculation. - Using a number or cell reference as the function argument.
- Supporting cross-sheet references and nested formulas.
- Updating results automatically when referenced data changes.
Common use cases include math modeling, engineering worksheets, and classroom demonstrations.
It helps reduce manual conversion steps and keeps calculation results synchronized in the same worksheet.
Distinct: the function fits directly into the formula editing workflow, and syntax prompts can appear while you type.
System Requirements
| Item | Requirement |

Compare with Alternatives
| Dimension | WPS | Microsoft | Notion | Adobe | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capability Summary | Supports ASINH(value) in spreadsheets for inverse hyperbolic sine calculations, with formula entry, cross-sheet references, and nested use. | Excel provides the ASINH function and describes it as returning the inverse hyperbolic sine of a number. | Google Sheets provides ASINH(value) and states that the function returns the inverse hyperbolic sine of a number. | Notion formulas support calculations with database properties, built-ins, and functions, but the official help page does not describe an ASINH spreadsheet function. | Adobe Acrobat Sign supports field validation and custom formula-based validation for form fields, rather than spreadsheet cell functions. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: direct cell-based formula entry in a spreadsheet workflow; Distinct: supports cross-sheet references and automatic recalculation when source values change. | Compared with WPS: Microsoft also provides ASINH, and its official page focuses on syntax and usage for Excel. | Compared with WPS: Google also provides ASINH and explicitly notes that imaginary or complex numbers are not supported. | Compared with WPS: Notion formulas are centered on database properties and workspace logic instead of spreadsheet cell functions. | Compared with WPS: Adobe focuses on document form validation and signing workflows instead of spreadsheet math functions. |
| Official Source | — | ASINH function | ASINH | Intro to formulas | Form field validations |
Overall Conclusion: For inverse hyperbolic sine calculations in a Windows spreadsheet environment, WPS, Microsoft Excel, and Google Sheets all provide directly related function support. Notion and Adobe serve different formula or validation scenarios, so they are not direct spreadsheet-function equivalents for this task.
Use Cases
| No. | Scenario | Suitable For | Main Need | How ASINH Helps |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Math function teaching | Teachers and students | Show inverse hyperbolic results quickly | Enter ASINH in a cell and view the result immediately |
| 2 | Engineering data conversion | Engineering analysts | Reduce manual conversion work | Use cell references to calculate inverse hyperbolic sine values in batches |
| 3 | Compound formula modeling | Data users | Build multi-layer formulas more clearly | Nest ASINH with other functions |
| 4 | Cross-sheet calculation | Finance or research users | Work with data stored on different sheets | Reference cells from another worksheet in the formula |
| 5 | Dynamic result updates | Everyday spreadsheet users | Keep results current after source data changes | Use automatic recalculation to refresh results |
