The COT function in Google Sheets is a mathematical function that calculates the cotangent of a given angle. To use this function, simply enter the angle value or cell reference as the argument. The resulting value will be the cotangent of the specified angle, which can be useful in trigonometric calculations. This function can be accessed by typing “=COT()” in a cell or by using the “Insert Function” feature. It is important to note that the angle should be in radians for accurate results. The COT function in Google Sheets is a convenient tool for performing complex trigonometric calculations in spreadsheets.
COT function
The COT function returns the cotangent of an angle provided in radians.
Parts of a COT function
COT(angle)
| Part | Description | Notes |
angle | The angle to find the cotangent of, in radians. |
Sample formulas

Example
In this example, the COT function shows the cotangent of given angles in radians:
| A | B | |
| 1 | Formula | Result |
| 2 | =COT(1) | 0.6420926159 |
| 3 | =COT(-1) | -0.6420926159 |
| 4 | =COT(4) | 0.8636911545 |
| 5 | =COT(0) | #DIV/0! |
