ASIN

The ASIN function returns the inverse sine of a value in radians.

Sample Usage

ASIN(0)

ASIN(A2)

ASIN(1)

Syntax

ASIN(value)

• value - The value for which to calculate the inverse sine. Must be between -1 and 1, inclusive.

Notes

• Use the DEGREES function to convert the result of ASIN into degrees.
• Sine is periodic, therefore there are many solutions to the inverse. ASIN returns the solution between -Pi/2 and Pi/2.
