Can the default be degrees instead of radians?

So, the subject line asks the question, Can Excel be set up to work in degrees instead of radians, and of course if it can, how do I do that (-:

As far as I know this is not possible. You can convert degrees to radians using

=Degrees/(180/pi())

where Degrees is the angle in degrees.

Hi

You also have the functions:

=DEGREES(angle)

=RADIANS(angle)

to convert back and forth.
