Default is it possible to find the arctan of an angle in Excel or an add .

the ARCTAN should return the angle in degrees!
As does the TAN return the ratio based on degrees.


You are entitled to your opinion. But it would be nice if it were an

In Excel, the argument to the TAN function is in radians, not degrees.
