on a calculator I would
divide the smaller number by the larger number and then inv tan to get
the degrees
what is the simplest way to get the degrees from a spreadsheet formula,
I have found one way, by getting the two numbers and using radians and
soforth and finally getting my degrees after a couple of steps, there
should be a way to just take the two numbers and formulate degrees
from themgt; ...there

Not sure, but is this what you need?

=DEGREES(ATAN2(A1,B1))
