Inverse sin
 

I need a formula that will allow me to calculate the inverse sin of a number
using excel. Its a structural engineering problem. Can anybody help please.

=1/SIN(A1)

John,

You probably want the ASIN function.

I suspect he's talking not about the reciprocal, but the inverse, sometimes
called ArcSin, i.e. given the sin value, return the angle.
