How-to Guide
1. Enter the ODDLPRICE function and complete a calculation
Entry point: Formulas tab → formula bar
- Open WPS Spreadsheets and select the cell where you want the result to appear.
- Type
=in the formula bar or directly in the cell. - Type
ODDLPRICE(and review the syntax guidance that appears. - Enter the required arguments in order.
- Press Enter to confirm and display the result in the current cell.

- Next actions: You can continue editing arguments, copying the formula, or filling it into other cells.
Tips While Using
- Common mistake: If the formula does not start with
=, if parentheses are not closed, or if argument separators are incomplete, the result may not calculate correctly.- Environment note: If referenced dates or numeric values are not in the expected format, the result may not display as expected.
2. Use cross-sheet references with ODDLPRICE arguments
Entry point: Formula bar → worksheet tabs
- In the result cell, type
=ODDLPRICE(. - When entering the first argument, switch to the worksheet that stores the source data.
- Select the target cell to insert its reference into the formula.
- Repeat the same method for the remaining arguments.
- Press Enter and review the returned value in the result cell.
Success Criteria
- Interface result: The formula contains cross-sheet cell references.
- Next actions: When source worksheet data changes, the result cell updates accordingly.
Tips While Using
- Common mistake: Referencing the wrong worksheet or cell directly affects the result.
- Environment note: If a referenced worksheet is deleted or key data is moved, check the formula references again.
3. Nest ODDLPRICE inside another formula
Entry point: Formula bar
- Select the target cell and start typing the outer formula.
- At the position where the financial price result is needed, type
ODDLPRICE(. - Complete the inner ODDLPRICE arguments as required.
- Finish the rest of the outer formula.
- Press Enter to view the final result.
Success Criteria
- Interface result: The cell returns the final result of the outer formula.
- Next actions: You can continue editing either the outer or inner formula for more advanced analysis.
Tips While Using
- Common mistake: With deeper nesting, parentheses are easier to misplace.
- Environment note: It is helpful to verify the ODDLPRICE result on its own before combining it with a more complex formula.
