How-to Guide

1. View CHITEST syntax guidance

Entry point: Open a WPS Sheets worksheet and type in the target cell or formula bar.

Open WPS Office and go to your spreadsheet file.
Select the cell where you want to enter the formula.
Type = to start formula entry.
Type CHITEST(.
Review the syntax guidance that appears and confirm the required parameters and example.

Success Criteria

UI state: Syntax guidance appears after the function name is entered.
Next actions: You can continue entering parameters and finish the formula.

Tips While Using

Common mistakes: If you do not type = first, the function may not be recognized as a formula.
Environment limits: Use an editable worksheet cell or the formula bar.

2. Enter a CHITEST formula and return a result

Entry point: The formula bar or a target cell.

Select the cell where the result should appear.
Type =CHITEST(.
Enter the correct parameter ranges based on the syntax guidance.
Type the closing parenthesis to complete the formula.
Press Enter.

Success Criteria

UI state: The cell displays a calculation result.
Next actions: You can copy the formula, edit the parameters, or continue analyzing other data.
No side effects: The original data range is not overwritten by entering the formula.

Tips While Using

Common mistakes: If the parameter count or range structure is incorrect, the result may return an error.
Environment limits: The data ranges used in the calculation should remain available for reference.

3. Use CHITEST with cross-sheet references or nested formulas

Entry point: The formula bar.

In the result cell, type =CHITEST(.
Select or manually enter the observed range from another worksheet.
Enter the separator, then select or enter the expected range.
If needed, place CHITEST inside a longer formula expression.
Press Enter and review the result.

Success Criteria

UI state: The formula bar shows a cross-sheet reference or nested formula structure.
Next actions: You can continue adjusting the reference range or combine it with other formulas.
No side effects: Data in other worksheets remains unchanged.

Tips While Using

Common mistakes: An incorrect sheet name or range can affect the result.
Environment limits: The referenced worksheet and cell ranges must exist and be accessible.
