ATAN

Description

Returns the inverse tangent of a value, in radians.

Sample Usage

ATAN(0)

ATAN(A5)

ATAN(1)

Syntax

ATAN(value)

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

Notes

• The DEGREES function can be used to convert the result of ATAN into degrees.

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

Step 1: To use the ATAN Formula, simply begin with your edited Excellentable:

Step 2: Then begin typing the ATAN formula in the area you would like to display the outcome: 

By adding the values you would like to calculate, Excellentable generates the outcome:
