2. Type =RADIANS(.
3. Check the syntax prompt shown near the editing area.

3. Use cell references or cross-sheet references

Entry point: formula bar

1. In the result cell, type =RADIANS(.
2. Click the cell that contains the angle value, or switch to another worksheet and select the target cell.
3. Confirm that the reference address has been inserted into the formula.
4. Type the closing parenthesis and press Enter.

Success Criteria

• UI state: The formula shows the cell reference address and returns a valid result.
• Next actions: After changing the source cell, you can continue checking how the result changes.

Tips While Using

• Common mistakes: If the reference points to non-numeric content, the result may not return as expected.
• Environment limits: For cross-sheet references, make sure the target worksheet still exists.

4. Check automatic result updates

Entry point: a result cell that already uses RADIANS

1. Find a formula cell that already uses RADIANS.
2. Change the value in the referenced angle cell.
3. Press Enter to confirm the source data change.
4. Check whether the result cell updates at the same time.

Success Criteria

• UI state: The result cell updates when the source data changes.

Tips While Using

• Common mistakes: If the workbook uses a special calculation setting, refresh timing may differ from what you expect.
