Default format cells in degrees & minutes of arc.


What i am trying to do is set up a spred sheet that would allow me to apply
magnetic varation to a true course. the varation coud be east or west in
which case i would eather + or - the ajustment. for example if true course
was 005° Mag VAR 12°W i would have to -12° to give me a mag heading of 364°
and if True course 356° Var 12°E i would need to +12° mag heading 008°
I hope that gives you a clearer understanding of what i am trying to do.

tried useing the time function but the problem i run into is
if i have 270° and i need to add 100° in a clockwise direction i get 370°
not 10°
