Degrees to radians + explicit mention of radians in trig formulae

[SeanAdams]

I know it's a simple thing, but can we include 2 formulae:

- Degrees to Radians

- Radians to degrees.

I know these are simple conversions - but if you need to do this dozens of times in a formula it does get messy.

Additionally - the trig formule all require radians as input, but there's no hint of this in the help or the helptext.   This is a simple fix - could you put this in the help-file, and also in the parameter name that you get when you select the function in the designer?

I know you cant use it @SeanAdams, but DEG and RAD are both in the Abacus functions... (https://github.com/jdunkerley/AlteryxFormulaAddOns/wiki/Math-Functions-%28MathUtils.xml%29#deg) Just an XML file to add those ones.

:-) you don't know how envious I am James!

Thanks for this!

@jdunkerley - I have followed the instructions mentioned in the but all I get upon restarting alteryx is the OMNIBUS docker with various (useful) tools but I was looking specifically for the Degrees to radians converter and cant seem to locate it.

Could you please advice where thsi will be and what I am missing?

cheers

You need the 'Abacus' install (thats the function library).

Go to https://github.com/jdunkerley/AlteryxFormulaAddOns/releases/latest and download from there.

Installation process basically identical to Omnibus

yayyy! works just fine!

Thanks a lot for this!
