<pre>Strange that this has not come up before in the LibreOffice era. But see also
OOo issue 58369 had opened a requirement.
LibreOffice (as OOo before) and MS Excel already work internally in
Radians--see the DEGREES function for conversion from Radians. From those, cell
calculations and conversion formulas for any Spherical trig angular
measurements can already be achieved. Conversions to Degrees is into decimal
degrees.
So, lacking is native handling of DMS Sexagesimal notation formatting (or any
of its derivatives) for angular measurement. It would be nice to be able to
directly input, calculate and format results of angular measurements in DMS.
Maybe needing a new Cell format category.</pre>
