• What you can do next: You can continue adding parameters, confirm the result, or edit the formula.

Tips While Using

• Common mistake: If you do not start with =, the content may be treated as plain text.
• Environment note: The target cell must be editable.

2. View syntax guidance and parameter examples

Entry point: Formula bar → guidance appears while typing the function name

1. Select the target cell and type =SHEETSNAME(.
2. Watch for the syntax guidance that appears in the interface.
3. Use the guidance to confirm the number, order, and format of parameters.
4. Complete the parameters based on the prompt.

• What you can do next: You can continue entering the formula based on the guidance.

Tips While Using

• Common mistake: Ignoring parameter order can cause incorrect results.

3. Use cross-sheet references or nested calculations

Entry point: Formula bar

1. Type =SHEETSNAME( in the target cell and begin editing the formula.
2. Add cell references from other worksheets as needed.
3. If you need a more complex result, nest other functions or expressions in the formula.
4. Press Enter and review the returned result.

Success Criteria

• Interface result: The cell shows a calculated result instead of plain text.
• What you can do next: You can edit the formula further or copy it to other cells.

Tips While Using

• Common mistake: Incomplete references or missing parentheses can cause formula errors.

4. Check updated results and recalculate manually

Entry point: The result cell after referenced data changes

1. Change the data in the cells referenced by the SHEETSNAME formula.
2. Check whether the result cell updates automatically.
3. If the result does not change as expected, check for text-formatted numbers or circular references.
4. Press F9 to recalculate manually and review the result again.

Success Criteria

• Interface result: The result cell shows the updated calculated value.
• What you can do next: You can continue editing data and repeat the check.

Tips While Using
