What is ATANH function in Excel?

ATANH function is one of the Math and Trig functions in Microsoft Excel that returns the inverse hyperbolic tangent of a number. Number must be between -1 and 1 (excluding -1 and 1). The inverse hyperbolic tangent is the value whose hyperbolic tangent is number, so ATANH(TANH(number)) equals number.
