Looking down through a sheet I had just completed I found a curious result for a simple sin calculation, but can't fix it....

I did see someone else in here with a similar problem, another forum member suggested changing optimisation to numeric, I did this, but with no change to the result.

Can someone else check, to ensure I'm not crazy...?

If d=35, then 1-sin(d)= 0.4264, not 1.4282 as Smath reports........

cheers,


Stu.

Hello Stu,

By default, it is assumed that a dimensionless variable representing angle is in radians - not degrees.
