You could just assign the value to a constant directly...
Const PI = 3.14159265358979

Or you can let VB calculate it for you...
PI = 4 * ATN(1)

Your constant for PI does not equal VB 4*Atn(1) or Excel PI().

However, if you enter the constant as 3.141592653589793, that does result in
the same binary value as 4*Atn(1) and PI(), even though VB will not display
the last 3.

This is why I don't want to hard code a trancendental constant.
