Hi,
Just a quick question regarding the Sin function. When i use the sin
function on my calculator, in degrees mode, it returns a differnet value to
excel.
Say the sin of 30, (in degrees mode) Sin30=0.5 (On my calculator)
the Sin of 30, Sin30=-0.988 (On Excel)

How can i get it return the same value as my calculator?

Thanks in advance.
