This post will guide you how to use Excel TANH function with syntax and examples in Microsoft excel.

Description

The Excel TANH function returns the hyperbolic tangent of a given number. So you can use this function to calculate the hyperbolic tangent of a number in Excel. The returned result is a numeric value.

The TANH function is a build-in function in Microsoft Excel and it is categorized as a Math and Trigonometry Function.

The TANH function is available in Excel 2016, Excel 2013, Excel 2010, Excel 2007, Excel 2003, Excel XP, Excel 2000, Excel 2011 for Mac.

Syntax

The syntax of the TANH function is as below:

=TANH (number)

Where the TANH function argument is:

• number -This is a required argument. A real number that used to be calculate the hyperbolic tangent.

Note:

• If the number argument is not a numeric value, the TANH function will return #VALUE! Error.

Excel TANH Function Examples

The below examples will show you how to use Excel TANH Function to return the hyperbolic tangent of a number.

1# get the hyperbolic tangent of -5, enter the following formula in Cell B1.

=TANH(-5)

2# get the hyperbolic tangent of 0, enter the following formula in Cell B2.

=TANH(0)

3# get the hyperbolic tangent of 0.8, enter the following formula in Cell B3.

=TANH(0.8)
