What is IMSECH function in Excel?
IMSECH function is one of Engineering functions in Microsoft Excel that returns the hyperbolic secant of a complex number in x+yi or x+yj text format.
Syntax of IMSECH function
IMSECH(inumber)
The IMSECH function syntax has the following arguments.
- Inumber: A complex number for which you want the hyperbolic secant.
IMSECH formula explanation
- Use COMPLEX to convert real and imaginary coefficients into a complex number.
- If inumber is a value that is not in the x+yi or x+yj text format, IMSECH returns the #NUM! error value.
- If inumber is a logical value, IMSECH returns the #VALUE! error value.
