Computes the degrees of an input value measuring the radians of an angle. The value can be a Decimal or Integer literal or a reference to a column containing numeric values.

Input units are in radians.
You can convert from degrees to radians. For more information, see RADIANS Function.

Numeric literal example:

derive type:single value: ROUND(DEGREES(1.0000),4)

Output: Generates a column containing the computation in degrees of 1.0000 radians, which is 57.2728.

Column reference example:

derive type:single value: DEGREES(myRads) as: myDegrees'

Output: Generates the new myDegrees column containing the conversion of the values in MyRads column to degrees.

derive type:single value: DEGREES(numeric_value)

Argument	Required?	Data Type	Description
numeric_value	Y	string, decimal, or integer	Name of column, Decimal or Integer literal, or function returning those types to apply to the function

numeric_value

Name of the column, Integer or Decimal literal, or function returning that data type to apply to the function.
