Excel trigonometric functions error
Excel trigonometric functions error
(OP)
Hi chaps,
Has anyone else noticed that some of the excel (2007) trigonometric functions are wrong!!
Specifically ASIN in this case - try ASin of 0.277047 radians on a calculator and the same in Excel and the results are different...
Any idea if an update exists to correct this?
Jon

Sorry meant to say "arcsine of 0.277047 expressed in radians" - as the less anally-retentive among you realised - see above comment re long day!!
