About This Feature
Overview
IMSINH is a spreadsheet function in WPS Office for Windows that returns the hyperbolic sine of a complex number. It is suitable for engineering calculations, mathematical modeling, and complex-number analysis.
Core capabilities include:
- Show syntax guidance when you type
IMSINH(to help complete the formula faster. - Enter the function directly in a cell and return a calculated result.
- Support cell references, cross-sheet references, and nested formulas.
- Recalculate results automatically when referenced data changes.
System Requirements

Compare with Alternatives
| Dimension | WPS | Microsoft | Notion | Adobe | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capability Summary | Enter IMSINH and other spreadsheet functions directly in cells, with syntax prompts, cross-sheet references, nested calculations, and automatic recalculation. | Word lets you insert formulas in table cells and supports selected functions and cell references, but the workflow is centered on document tables. | The official Google Docs page highlights Gemini for drafting, rewriting, summarizing, and answering questions in documents, rather than spreadsheet-style function entry. | Notion formulas are designed for database properties and support functions, built-ins, and a formula editor. | Acrobat can configure calculations for PDF form fields, which fits form workflows rather than spreadsheet function entry. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: WPS is more direct for spreadsheet-style formula entry, nested calculations, and automatic recalculation in cells. | Compared with WPS: formula features are used inside Word tables and are better suited to document-table calculations than a spreadsheet workflow. | Compared with WPS: the official page focuses on AI writing assistance in Docs and does not describe an equivalent spreadsheet function workflow for IMSINH. | Compared with WPS: formulas are mainly used for database properties instead of cell-based spreadsheet calculation. | Compared with WPS: calculations are tied to PDF form fields instead of spreadsheet cells. |
| Official Source | — | Use a formula in a Word table | Gemini in Google Docs | Intro to formulas | Configure form field calculations in Acrobat |
Overall Conclusion
If your main task is entering spreadsheet formulas and working with complex-number calculations, WPS provides a more direct path in a spreadsheet interface. The other products also support calculation-related features, but they are mainly designed for document tables, database properties, or PDF forms.
Use Cases
| No. | Scenario | Suitable Users | Main Pain Point | Solution |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Teaching complex-number functions | Teachers and students | Manual calculation of complex hyperbolic functions takes multiple steps | Enter IMSINH in a cell to return the result directly |
| 2 | Engineering data analysis | Engineers and researchers | Complex-number data needs to be processed in batches | Use the function with cell references for batch calculation |
| 3 | Nested formula modeling | Data analysts | A single function is not enough for more advanced calculations | Combine IMSINH with other formulas |
| 4 | Dynamic result checking | Finance and research users | Results need to update after source data changes | Use automatic recalculation to refresh results |
