Hello Everyone,

I am looking for a function which adds 2 angles in polar coordinates.
For example : angle 270 + Angle 180 = angle 90 on polar coordinate considering 360 degree rotation.

Thank you.

When they said...
When they said you are going to "Excel at life", they meant you "will be doing Excel your whole life".
If 270 is in cell A1, and 180 is in cell B1, then how about this formula?
Excel Formula:
=MOD(A1+B1,360)

Solution
You are welcome.
Glad I was able to help!

Note the only caveat is if you had values that added up to 360 like 270 and 90, it will return 0 and not 360.
If you would prefer it to return 360, you could use this variation:
Excel Formula:
=LET(x,MOD(A1+B1,360),IF(x=0,360,x))
