Examples for the asech formula
Copy these examples into a spreadsheet and adjust the ranges for your own data.
ASECH syntax pattern
=ASECH(number)Use this ASECH pattern as the starting point for your spreadsheet formula.
ASECH in a worksheet
=ASECH(A2)Returns the inverse hyperbolic secant of a number, in radians.
When to use ASECH
Use ASECH when you need to return the inverse hyperbolic secant of a number, in radians.
- Convert and calculate angles.
- Model geometry, waves, and other trigonometric relationships.
How ASECH works in Quadratic
In Quadratic, ASECH follows the syntax ASECH(number). The function works inside Quadratic formulas and can be combined with spreadsheet ranges, tables, and other formulas.
Common ASECH mistakes
Most ASECH issues come from mismatched argument types, ranges that do not cover the intended data, or optional parameters being omitted when the default behavior is not what you expected.
- Check each required parameter before copying the formula across a sheet.
- Confirm that ranges line up with the rows or columns you intend to analyze.
- Use Quadratic AI to explain or debug the formula when the result looks wrong.
