The TORADIANS() function converts an angle measurement from degrees to radians. Since trigonometric functions like SIN, COS, and TAN require angles in radians, this function helps convert degrees into radians.
The TORADIANS() function can be used in various calculations, including seasonal sales forecasting and geographic distance calculations.
Syntax
