When using SIN in WPS, the most common questions fall into 3 areas: formula errors, parameter entry, and result refresh; this FAQ includes 3 common questions and a short glossary.
FAQ
Why does the SIN function return an error?
- Check whether the function name, commas, and parentheses are entered completely.
- Check whether the referenced field or value is suitable for numeric calculation.
- Save the formula field again and confirm that the latest edit has taken effect.
Can SIN be used together with other functions?
- Enter
SIN(...)in the formula field as the base result. - Then place that result inside another function or a longer formula expression.
- Save the formula and review whether the returned value matches your expectation.
Will the SIN formula calculate automatically after data import?
- After the formula field is saved, the result updates when the data changes.
- If no result appears after import, first check whether the formula format is correct.
- Then confirm that the imported field data type can be used in the current calculation.
