DEGREES

DEGREES converts a radian value into the equivalent degree measurement by multiplying by 180/PI(). Use it whenever you need to display or compare angles in degrees after computing them with functions like ATAN2, ASIN, or ACOS.

Excel
=DEGREES(PI())
Google Sheets
=DEGREES(PI())

How it works

  1. 1Identify the radian value you want to convert (e.g., PI() represents 180°).
  2. 2Wrap it in DEGREES(): =DEGREES(PI()).
  3. 3The result is the equivalent angle in degrees (180 for PI()).
