Do you have data that is showing radians instead of degrees? This wikiHow will teach you how to change radians to degrees in Excel on a computer.

Steps

  1. 1
    Open your project in Excel. If you're in Excel, you can go to File > Open or you can right-click the file in your file browser.
    • This method works for Excel for Microsoft 365, Excel for Microsoft 365 for Mac, Excel for the web, Excel 2019-2007, Excel 2019-2011 for Mac, and Excel Starter 2010.
  2. 2
    Select an empty cell where you want to convert radians to degrees. This can be anywhere on your spreadsheet.
  3. 3
    Enter "=DEGREES()". In the parentheses, enter the value of radians that you want to convert to degrees.
    • For example, if you enter "=DEGREES(PI())", you'll get "180" as a result.[1]
    • For example, if you enter "=DEGREES(0.2)", you'll get "11.4591559" in return.
  4. 4
    Press Enter (Windows) or Return (Mac). The cell you have selected will display the degrees function result.
