DEGREES function

PRO BASIC

The DEGREES function in Jspreadsheet Formulas Pro is a tool that converts radians into degrees. This is especially useful when dealing with mathematical and trigonometric computations that involve angles. By inputting a value in radians into the DEGREES function, it will output the equivalent value in degrees. This function makes it easier and more efficient to switch between these two units of angle measurement.

Documentation

Converts radians to degrees.

Syntax

DEGREES(angle)

Parameter	Description
`angle`	The angle in radians you want to convert to degrees.

Behavior

The DEGREES function is used to convert radians into degrees. The function takes a single argument, which is the numeric value in radians that you want to convert. Here's how it handles different types of data:

Empty Cells: If the cell referenced in the DEGREES function is empty, the function will return a value of 0.
Text: If the cell referenced contains text, the function will return an error, as it only accepts numeric values.
Booleans: If a boolean value (TRUE or FALSE) is used in place of the number argument in the DEGREES function, it will be treated as 1 for TRUE and 0 for FALSE.
Errors: If the argument to the DEGREES function is an error, the function will also return an error.

Common Errors

Error	Description
#VALUE!	This error occurs when the supplied argument is non-numeric.

Best practices

Always ensure the value you are converting using the DEGREES function is a numeric value. Text or string values will result in an error.

Be careful when referencing other cells. Make sure the cell you are referencing contains a valid numeric value.

Use the companion function RADIANS when you need to convert degrees back to radians.

Remember that DEGREES function treats boolean values as numbers, with TRUE as 1 and FALSE as 0. Ensure your data does not contain unexpected boolean values.

Usage

A few examples using the DEGREES function.

DEGREES(PI())             // Returns: 180 (half-circle in degrees)
DEGREES(PI()/2)           // Returns: 90 (quarter-circle)
DEGREES(0.5236)           // Returns: ~30 (approximate conversion of π/6)
DEGREES(TRUE)             // Returns: ~57.2958 (TRUE is coerced to 1)
DEGREES(FALSE)            // Returns: 0
DEGREES("text")           // Returns: #VALUE! (invalid non-numeric input)
