This FAQ covers 3 common issue types for XOR in WPS: formula errors, syntax lookup, and unexpected results.
FAQ
What should I do if the XOR function shows an error after I enter it?
- Check whether the formula starts with

=XOR(. - Review the syntax guidance and argument information that appears automatically.
What should I do if the XOR result is not correct?
