DEGREES function

Overview

DEGREES is a function of the Math and Trigonometry category that converts an angle measured in radians to an equivalent angle measured in degrees.

Usage

Syntax

DEGREES(angle) => degrees

Argument descriptions

• angle (number, required). The angle in radians that is to be converted to degrees.

Additional guidance

The conversion from radians to degrees is based on the relationship:

$$1\text{radian}={\displaystyle \frac{180}{\pi }}\text{degrees}\approx 57.29577951\text{degrees}$$

Returned value

DEGREES returns a number that represents the value of the given angle expressed in degrees.

Error conditions

• In common with many other IronCalc functions, DEGREES propagates errors that are found in its argument.
• If no argument, or more than one argument, is supplied, then DEGREES returns the #ERROR! error.
• If the value of the angle argument is not (or cannot be converted to) a number, then DEGREES returns the #VALUE! error.
