ATAN

The ATAN function returns the inverse tangent (arctangent) of a number.

ATAN(num)

Â num: A number. num is a number value.

Usage Notes

The ATAN function takes a tangent and returns the corresponding angle, Â

expressed in radians in the range –pi/2 to +pi/2. To see the resulting angle in

degrees instead of radians, wrap this function in the DEGREES function; that is,

=DEGREES(ATAN(num)).

Examples

=ATAN(1) returns the angle measure 0.785398163 radians (45 degrees), which has a tangent of 1.

=DEGREES(ATAN(1)) returns 45.
