DEGREES

The DEGREES function returns an angle value in degrees.

This can be useful when you need to work with angular measurements and require conversion from radians to degrees.

Syntax

DEGREES(angle)

Argument	Description	Permitted values
angle	Angle whose value needs to be converted from radians to degrees	Numerical value in radians or reference to a cell containing a number

Calculation for the value in the cell

If you have an angle in radians, for example, in cell A1, and you want to convert it to degrees:

=DEGREES(A1)

If cell A1 contains the expression =PI()/2, the result will be 90.

Conversion of the value in radians to degrees

=DEGREES(2)

Result: approximately 114.6 degrees.

The function is equivalent to the formula =A1*(180/PI()), where cell A1 contains the value in radians.
