SIN

SIN(number)

Returns the sine of a number.

number

The number you want the sine of.

REMARKS

* For an illustrated example refer to the Trigonometric Functions page.
* This function returns the equivalent ratio of the opposite side divided by the hypotenuse for a given angle.
* This function always returns a value between -1 and 1 (inclusive).
* This function is periodic with a period of 2PI.
* The "number" is the angle in radians.
* If "number" is not numeric, then #VALUE! is returned.
* If your argument is in degrees, multiply it by PI/180 to convert it to radians.
* The inverse of this function is the ASIN function.
* The sine of a number is 1/CSC.
* You can use the ASIN function to return the arc-sine.
* You can use the COS function to return the cosine of a number.
* You can use the TAN function to return the tangent.
* You can use the DEGREES function to convert from radians to degrees.
* You can use the RADIANS function to convert from degrees to radians.
* The equivalent VBA function is VBA.SIN
