I'm sure this is simple, but I can't find it anywhere. I have the diameter of a circle and want to calculate the circumference. What's the formula?
 
Hi Clayton

circumference = 2 * Pi * radius

in Excel use the function PI(), so for your example
=2*(diamter/2)*PI()

Which is the same as

=diameter/Pi()

Hi Ron
:-)
Definetly should stop working right now for not seeing this (haven't
calculated circumferences for years, though...)

Maybe diameter*Pi() though


Ya know, I was thinking PI() * D, and then I saw Frank's post and got confused.

That's my story and I'm sticking to it <ggg>

I think we should both stop working. I was thinking Pi()*D and then saw your
post. So I had to be a wise-ass and it came back and bit me (as Ken pointed
out).

o.k. lets stop working though I think my boss will disagree :-)

Have a nice weekend

Hi Ken!

It's only PI*Diameter on working days. On Sundays / is having a rest.
