Examples for the sin formula
Copy these examples into a spreadsheet and adjust the ranges for your own data.
SIN syntax pattern
=SIN(radians)Use this SIN pattern as the starting point for your spreadsheet formula.
SIN in a worksheet
=SIN(radians)Returns the sine of an angle in radians.
When to use SIN
Use SIN when you need to return the sine of an angle in radians.
- Convert and calculate angles.
- Model geometry, waves, and other trigonometric relationships.
How SIN works in Quadratic
In Quadratic, SIN follows the syntax SIN(radians). The function works inside Quadratic formulas and can be combined with spreadsheet ranges, tables, and other formulas.
Common SIN mistakes
Most SIN issues come from mismatched argument types, ranges that do not cover the intended data, or optional parameters being omitted when the default behavior is not what you expected.
- Check each required parameter before copying the formula across a sheet.
- Confirm that ranges line up with the rows or columns you intend to analyze.
- Use Quadratic AI to explain or debug the formula when the result looks wrong.
