Off the top of my head, I'd do it the two step way - acos() will give you the radians, then use degree() to convert that to degrees. But there's probably an easier way.
Check in Excel help for the ACOS function.
Returns the arccosine, or inverse cosine, of a number. The arccosine is the angle whose cosine is number. The returned angle is given in radians in the range 0 (zero) to pi.
Syntax
ACOS(number)
Number is the cosine of the angle you want and must be from -1 to 1.
Remark
If you want to convert the result from radians to degrees, multiply it by 180/PI() or use the DEGREES function.
