Overview
Grammar | ACOS(number) | Returns the arcsine, or inverse sine, of a number. The arcsine value is an angle, and the returned angle is given in radians. |
Parameter | number | The sine of the angle you want. |
Notes
The function supports only one number and returns illegal if more than one numbers are set.
The parameter must be between -1 and 1 (inclusive). The returned angle is between -pi/2 to pi/2 (inclusive). To express the returned angle in degrees, multiply the result by 180/PI().
