ASIN function
This topic describes the formula syntax and usage of the ASINH function in the Data Quality Execute Formula transform.
Description
Returns the arcsine, or inverse sine, of a number. The arcsine is the angle whose sine is number. The returned angle is given in radians in the range -π/2 to π/2.
Tip: If you want to convert the result from radians to degrees, multiply it by
180/PI() or use the DEGREES function.Syntax
ASIN(number)The ASIN function syntax has the following argument:
- number Required. The sine of the angle. Must be from -1 to 1.
Example
Data: -0.5 in Sines field.
| Formula | Description | Result |
|---|---|---|
ASIN([Sines]) |
Arcsine of -0.5 in radians, -π/6 | -0.523598776 |
ASIN([Sines])*180/PI() |
Arcsine of -0.5 in degrees | -30 |
DEGREES(ASIN([Sines])) |
Arcsine of -0.5 in degrees | -30 |
