angle from atan
The atan returns the angle (in radians) of a number, which in my case is in
the rise over run format. Where either rise, run or both may be negative; the combinations of signs place the true location of the angle in +/+, +/- , -/- and -/+ quadrants. Lacking a proper atan function that preserves the quadrant information; would one construct if statements or is there some other (better) way to hande in spreadsheet cell formulas. TIA canopy |
