PI function

PRO BASIC

The PI function in Jspreadsheet Formulas Pro is used to return the mathematical constant pi, which is accurate to 15 digits. When you use this function, it will automatically generate the value of pi (approximately 3.141592653589793). This is especially useful in calculations involving circles or any other mathematical formulas where pi is needed. No arguments are needed for this function, just type =PI() and it will give you the value.

Documentation

Returns the mathematical constant pi, accurate to 15 digits.

Syntax

PI()

Parameter	Description

Behavior

The PI function doesn't take any arguments and it always returns the value of pi, which is approximately 3.141592653589793. This function doesn't interact with cells, so it doesn't handle empty cells, text, booleans, errors, or any other types of cell content.

Common Errors

Error	Description
#VALUE!	Occurs if any arguments are provided to the `PI` function, as it does not take any arguments.

Best practices

The PI function does not take any arguments, so make sure not to include any.

Remember that the value returned by PI is an approximation, and it may not be precise enough for some scientific or mathematical calculations.

If you need to use the value of pi in several places in your spreadsheet, consider using the PI function instead of typing out the value manually. This ensures consistency and reduces the risk of errors.

If you need to use the value of pi a lot, you might want to store the result of the PI function in a cell and then reference that cell in your calculations. This can make your formulas easier to read and understand.

Usage

A few examples using the PI function.

PI() returns 3.141592653589793, which is the mathematical constant pi accurate to 15 digits  
2*PI()*A1 returns the circumference of a circle when the radius is stored in column A1
