Syntax:
ATAN2(x, y)
Description:
This returns the arctangent of the given coordinates, i.e., the angle between the x axis and a line from the origin (0, 0) to a point with the coordinates (x, y).
The x and y coordinates of this point must be given as arguments.
The result is expressed in radians.
Example:
ATAN2(1, 1) returns 0.7854 (45°)
Tip:
You can use the DEGREES function to convert the result from radians to degrees.
