FAQ
What should I do if RADIANS returns an error?
- Check whether the parameter is numeric and does not include extra text, spaces, or invalid characters.
- Confirm that the formula is written as
=RADIANS(...)and that the parentheses are complete. - If the formula refers to another cell, make sure that referenced cell contains a number.
Why does the RADIANS result look different from what I expected?
- Confirm that the input value is in degrees, not a value that has already been converted to radians.
- Check whether the cell reference points to the intended row or column.
- If needed, test the function with a fixed number in a blank cell before switching back to a cell reference.
How do I use RADIANS in multiple cells at once?
- Enter
=RADIANS(target_cell)in the first destination cell. - Press Enter and select the completed formula cell again.
- Drag the fill handle, or copy and paste the formula into the target range.
- After filling, confirm that the references match the worksheet structure you want.
