PI has no argument. This article explains how to use the DEGREES() function or PI formula to convert angle measurements from radians to degrees. Converting to degrees is necessary if you want to use one of Excel's built-in trigonometric functions to find the cosine, sine or tangent of a right-angled triangle.

<h2> Excel&#39 s DEGREES Function Example </h2> Use the DEGREES() function to convert an angle of 1.570797 radians into degrees. If you're rusty about manually entering formulas in Excel, check out our&nbsp;step-by-step formula tutorial for guidance. In a cell, type: &#61;DEGREES(1.570797) or, if the value were stored in cell A1, you could also type: &#61;DEGREES(A1) And in either case, when you press Enter to execute the function, you should get a result of 90 degrees.

The DEGREES() function also supports point-and-click entry using a function&nbsp;dialog box. <h2> Alternative  Use the PI Formula </h2> An alternative method that doesn&#39;t rely on the DEGREES() formula is to multiply the angle (in radians) by 180 then divide the result by the mathematical constant pi. For example, to convert 1.570797 radians to degrees, use the formula: &#61;1.570797*180/PI() Pi, which is the ratio of a circle&#39;s circumference to its diameter, has a rounded value of 3.14 and is usually represented in formulas by the Greek letter π.
