Excel includes a wide range of worksheet formulas you can use for many different mathematical purposes. If you are working with trigonometric functions, you may need to convert radians to degrees. For instance, if you have an angle that is 0.75 radians, and you wanted to know how many degrees that represented, you could use the following formula:
=DEGREES(0.75)
The result would be 42.97183463 degrees. You can, of course, use a cell reference in the place of the radians value within the formula:
=DEGREES(G17)
