Let’s get right into the different hyperbolic functions in Excel without any further ado. You can also check out our other tutorials on Trigonometric functions if you’re interested in learning about them.

1. SINH function

Excel’s SINH function calculates the hyperbolic sine value of a number.

Syntax: SINH(number), where number is any real number. Mathematical formula: sinh(x) = (ex – e-x)/2. To determine the hyperbolic sine of a real number, follow these steps:

  • Select the cell where you want to display the result.
  • Type =SINH(, select the cell containing the number and complete the formula with ).
sinh formula 1
  • Press the Enter key to display the result.

2. COSH function

The COSH function in Excel calculates the hyperbolic cosine value of a number. Syntax: COSH(number), where number is any real number. Mathematical formula: cosh(x) = (ex + e-x)/2. To determine the hyperbolic cosine of a real number, follow these steps:

  • Select the cell where you want to display the result.
  • Type =COSH(, select the cell containing the number and complete the formula with ).
