The ATAN function in Google Sheets is a mathematical function that calculates the arctangent of a given value. It takes one argument, which can be a number or a reference to a cell containing a number, and returns the arctangent in radians. This function is useful for trigonometric calculations and can be used in various applications such as finding angles or solving equations. To use the ATAN function in Google Sheets, simply enter the function name followed by the value or cell reference within the parentheses. This function is a powerful tool for performing complex calculations in Google Sheets.
ATAN
The ATAN function returns the inverse tangent of a value in radians.
Sample Usage
ATAN(0)
ATAN(A2)
ATAN(1)
Syntax
ATAN(value)
value– The value for which to calculate the inverse tangent.
Notes
Use the
DEGREESfunction to convert the result ofATANinto degrees.Tangent is periodic, therefore there are many solutions to the inverse.
ATANreturns the solution between -Pi/2 and Pi/2.
