Using Degrees in trigonometric functions
 

Hi,

I using trig functions (i.e. sine, cos and tan) and i wondering if there is
a way in excel settings so that i do not have to convert my input into
radians beforehand. I am using quite complex formulaes and adding Radians ()
or pi()/180 would add another level to the formula which i would rather do
without

It just seems silly that you have to convert the input to radians when
degrees is a much more common and easily understood unit system (well in the
UK, i'm not sure about the US).

Any help would be very much appreciated

Thanks
