To compute the hyperbolic secant of the complex number that combines these two values, use the IMSECH function in cell C1 as follows:<\/p>\n<table>\n<tr>\n<th>A<\/th>\n<th>B<\/th>\n<th>C<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>2<\/td>\n<td>3<\/td>\n<td>=IMSECH(COMPLEX(A1, B1))<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<p>The formula in cell C1 calculates the hyperbolic secant of the complex number created by combining 2 and 3 from cells A1 and B1.<\/p>\n<h2>Google Sheets Example<\/h2>\n<p>The use in Google Sheets follows a similar pattern. If you have entered the real and imaginary parts in cells A1 and B1 respectively, apply the following formula:<\/p>\n<table>\n<tr>\n<th>A<\/th>\n<th>B<\/th>\n<th>C<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>2<\/td>\n<td>3<\/td>\n<td>=IMSECH(COMPLEX(A1, B1))<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<p>This will compute the hyperbolic secant of the complex number composed of the real and imaginary parts in A1 and B1.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Returns the hyperbolic secant of a complex number<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[204],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-250","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-engineering"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.8 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Excel IMSECH Function \u2013 How It Works, Formula Examples and Syntax<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Learn what the Excel IMSECH function does.
