If you want something as ugly as sin, you could use VBA:
Dim MyAngle, MyCosecant
MyAngle = 1.3 ' Define angle in radians.
MyCosecant = 1 / Sin(MyAngle) ' Calculate cosecant.
Alternatively, you could use Excel:
1. Insert => Function
2. In the Select a Category field, select Math & Trig.
3. In the Select a Function field, select SIN.
