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

A unit of 1 radian identifies the angle of a circle where the radius of the circle equals the length of the arc on the circle for that angle. This value corresponds to approximately 57.3 degrees.
Input units are in degrees.
You can convert from radians to degrees. For more information, see DEGREES Function.

Numeric literal example:

round(radians(57.2728),4)

Output: Returns the computation in radians of 57.2728 rounded to four digits, which is 1.0000.

Column reference example:

radians(myDegrees)

Output: Generates the new myRads column containing the conversion of the values in MyDegrees column to radians.
