ATAN

The ATAN function returns the inverse tangent of a value in radians.

Sample Usage

ATAN(0)

ATAN(A2)

ATAN(1)

Syntax

ATAN(value)

  • value - The value for which to calculate the inverse tangent.

Notes

  • Use the DEGREES function to convert the result of ATAN into degrees.

  • Tangent is periodic, therefore there are many solutions to the inverse. ATAN returns the solution between -Pi/2 and Pi/2.
