• Environment note: The argument format needs to match the function requirement.

2. Use syntax guidance and complete the argument

Entry path: Formulas tab → Formula bar

1. In a cell or in the formula bar, type =IMLOG10(.
2. Watch for the syntax guidance that appears on screen.
3. Enter the correct argument based on the prompt.
4. Check that the parentheses and separators are complete, then press Enter.

Success Criteria

3. Reference cells or build a nested formula

Entry path: Formulas tab → Formula bar

1. Put the complex-number value in a cell, or prepare another formula result first.
2. Select the result cell and type =IMLOG10(.
3. Click the cell you want to reference, or continue typing a nested formula.
4. Complete the formula and press Enter.

Success Criteria

• What you can do next: When the referenced cell changes, the result updates with it.

Tips While Using

• Common mistake: Referencing text-formatted content may prevent the expected result.

4. Check errors and refresh the result

Entry path: Formulas tab → Current cell formula

1. If the result shows an error, first check the function name, parentheses, and number of arguments.
2. Check whether the referenced cell contains a value that can be used in the calculation.
3. After correcting the data, confirm whether the worksheet updates the result automatically.
4. If needed, confirm the formula again and press Enter once more.
