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