Hi team,

I’m trying to put a trig calculation into excel and am struggling to get the result I need. Here is an example of what I would do no a Non HP style calculator where you say 25 TAN as opposed to TAN 25.. (IE: The Microsoft Windows Calculator)

Where 25 is degrees.

25 TAN / 2 Sqrt = INV TAN

The answer is 18.248902383234398507193448623325

I want the 25 to bbe cell A:1

Can anyone assist on this please? I am not on constant interwebs connection so I will check back intermittantly when I find wifi.

Thank you in advance.

Hmm, not what I entered (press quote to see what it really says).

lets see if this works better:

=DEGREES)/Sqrt(2))

Can’t get it to display properly. Try pressing quote. Let me know if that doesn’t work.
