The TAN function expects radians. To supply an angle to TAN in degrees, multiply the angle by PI()/180 or use the RADIANS function to convert to radians.

Considerations when using the TAN function

If your argument is in degrees, multiply it by PI()/180 or use the RADIANS function to convert it to radians.

Formula examples using the TAN function

=TAN(0.785)

=TAN(45*PI()/180)

=TAN(RADIANS(45))
