Converting Degrees to Radians in Excel

AI Thread Summary
To convert degrees to radians in Microsoft Excel, use the RADIANS function with the syntax =RADIANS(angle). This function allows users to input an angle in degrees and receive the equivalent in radians. Additionally, the formula x = π * (Θ / 180) can be used, where x represents the angle in radians and Θ is the angle in degrees. It's noted that some versions of Excel may default to radians, so users should verify their settings.

Hello everyone,

I need help with converting or changing degrees to radians in Microsoft Excel.

Currently I'm writing SIN and COS functions but the default angles are in degrees, not radians. How do I format it to radians?

Excel has a RADIANS function. The syntax is =RADIANS(angle).

You may want to check your answers because the default on my copy of Excel is in radians.
 
To get to radians from degrees:

x = \pi \frac { \Theta} {180}

x is the angle in radians
\Theta is the angle in degrees.


As far as I can tell Excell defaults to Radians.

In my discussions elsewhere, I've noticed a lot of disagreement regarding AI. A question that comes up is, "Is AI hype?" Unfortunately, when this question is asked, the one asking, as far as I can tell, may mean one of three things which can lead to lots of confusion. I'll list them out now for clarity. 1. Can AI do everything a human can do and how close are we to that? 2. Are corporations and governments using the promise of AI to gain more power for themselves? 3. Are AI and transhumans...
Sorry if 'Profile Badge' is not the correct term. I have an MS 365 subscription and I've noticed on my Word documents the small circle with my initials in it is sometimes different in colour document to document (it's the circle at the top right of the doc, that, when you hover over it it tells you you're signed in; if you click on it you get a bit more info). Last night I had four docs with a red circle, one with blue. When I closed the blue and opened it again it was red. Today I have 3...
