So, the subject line asks the question, Can Excel be set up to work in degrees instead of radians, and of course if it can, how do I do that (-:

As far as I know this is not possible. You can convert degrees to radians using

=Degrees/(180/pi())

where Degrees is the angle in degrees.

Hi

You also have the functions:

=DEGREES(angle)

=RADIANS(angle)

to convert back and forth.
