Trigonometric functions
 

My Excel program is default radians and every time I enter a sin, cos,or tan
into the equation I have to convert to radians ie: *pi()/180. Is there any
way to change the settings to default degrees?

above all, don't panic

No, I don't believe you can change the default from radians to degrees.
You may want to check out the RADIANS() function.

Tushar, that is not tyhe answer I was hoping for. I have a hand held
scientific calculator that I can change from radians to degrees with the
touch of a button, so was sure there would be a way ofd changing it in an
excel program. Thanks anyway.

Your handheld calculator likely has higher precision, too.
