Excel SINH Function

The Excel SINH function returns hyperbolic sine of a number. The hyperbolic sine of x is defined as:

where e is an Euler's number.

The SINH function is a built-in function in Excel that is categorized as a Math/Trig Function. It can be used as a worksheet function in Excel. As a worksheet function, the SINH function can be used as part of a formula in a worksheet cell.

Syntax

SINH(number)

Parameters

Return Value

Returns the hyperbolic sine of a value.

Notes

• If the argument is a non-numeric value, SINH returns #VALUE! error.

Example: Using as Worksheet Function

The example below shows how to use the SINH function as worksheet function.

Based on the Excel spreadsheet above, the output of the following worksheet formula will be:
