About This Feature

Overview

ATANH is a spreadsheet function in WPS that is used for data calculation and analysis when you need an inverse hyperbolic tangent result.

Core capabilities include:

Enter the ATANH function directly for calculations.
Follow syntax prompts while filling in parameters.
Use cross-sheet references and nested formulas.
Let results recalculate automatically when source data changes.

Typical scenarios: math calculations, data analysis, and linked formulas.
Problems it helps solve: reducing manual conversion steps and completing function-based calculations directly in a spreadsheet.
Distinct value: you can enter the function directly in a cell or in the formula bar, then keep results updated through spreadsheet references.

System Requirements

Item	Requirement
Operating system	A Windows device that can run WPS Office normally
App version	The latest version of WPS Office is recommended
Network	No mandatory network connection is required for local function calculations; downloading, installing, and account-related actions require network access
Other	You need to be able to open WPS Spreadsheets and edit cell content

Download & Installation

Capability Summary	Enter the `ATANH` function directly in spreadsheet cells, with parameter input, cross-sheet references, nested formulas, and automatic recalculation.	Word supports formulas in table cells for calculations and logical comparisons, and formula results can update when the document opens or when updated manually.	Google Sheets provides online spreadsheets for managing, visualizing, and analyzing data, and Gemini in Sheets can create formulas and help analyze data.	Notion formulas perform calculations using database properties, built-ins, and functions, mainly within database properties rather than traditional spreadsheet cells.	Acrobat advanced form fields support calculations in PDF forms, including setting up calculated fields in form workflows.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: direct spreadsheet-cell formula entry fits continuous worksheet calculations on Windows. Distinct: cross-sheet references and nested formulas support ongoing recalculation as source values change.	Compared with WPS: Microsoft Word formulas are centered on document tables rather than a full spreadsheet editing environment.	Compared with WPS: Google Sheets emphasizes cloud collaboration, AI assistance, and browser-based workflows, while WPS fits local desktop spreadsheet formula entry more directly.	Compared with WPS: Notion formulas are tied to database properties and row-level logic, so the editing model differs from cell-based spreadsheet formulas.	Compared with WPS: Adobe calculation features are designed for PDF form fields instead of general spreadsheet function editing.

Overall Conclusion: If you want to enter a function directly in a desktop spreadsheet, reference cells, and keep results updated as data changes, WPS follows a familiar spreadsheet workflow on Windows. The other products also support calculations, but their calculation models are more focused on document tables, cloud collaboration databases, or PDF forms.

Use Cases

No.	Scenario	Intended Users	Main Need	How ATANH Helps
1	Math function calculations	Students and teachers	Need inverse hyperbolic tangent results quickly	Enter `=ATANH(parameter)` in a cell
2	Data analysis models	Data analysts	Need to insert the function into an existing formula chain	Nest ATANH with other functions
3	Cross-sheet calculations	Finance and analysis users	Data is stored across multiple worksheets	Reference cells from another worksheet in the formula
4	Dynamic result updates	Everyday office users	Results need to change after source data changes	Use automatic recalculation in the spreadsheet
