(y), I want to take 0001° to 360° and make a sin wave from these numbers.
0° would be the bottom start of cycle,curve up to 180° then at 181° start down to 000° then at 001° start working back up to 180.

This way I would have a cycle based on the degree angles.
I have worked with Radians and Degrees in Excel but when it gets to 360 and the next number number is 001 it drops like a rock. When displayed in a chart form.

Is there a formula that can be used to do this?

Thank You in advance.

What is the fastest way to copy a formula?
If A2:A50000 contain data. Enter a formula in B2. Select B2. Double-click the Fill Handle and Excel will shoot the formula down to B50000.
If your degrees are in column A, place the following in B1 and copy down:-
Code:
=180-ABS(180-A1)

This will convert column A which is cycling from 0 to 360 into a series of numbers which cycle from 0 to 180 and back to 0.
