What is the formula for determining a back azimuth if the azimuth is more than 180 degrees?

If it is greater than 180, subtract 180 (270 degrees - 180 = 90 Degrees).
If it is less than 180, add 180 (40 Degrees + 180 = 220 Degrees)
Now the question is, what is the formula that will do this in MS Excel?

To determine the back azimuth when the azimuth is more than 180 degrees, subtract 180 degrees from the original azimuth. If the resulting value is still greater than 180 degrees, subtract 180 degrees again to get the back azimuth. This process ensures that the back azimuth is within the range of 0 to 360 degrees.

What is a back azimuth?
A BACK AZIMUTH IS A PROJECTION OF THE AZIMUTH FROM THE ORIGIN TO THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE AZIMUTH CIRCLE. i.e. THERE ARE 360 DEGREES IN AN AZIMUTH CIRCLE, THUS THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION IS 180 DEGREES.
The distance of a star in degrees on the horizon as measured from true north?
The distance of a star on the horizon, measured in degrees, is called its azimuth. Azimuth is the angle measured clockwise from true north to the star's position in the sky. It can range from 0° (north) to 360° (back to north).
What range of azimuth would include all the locations on the horizon at which stars can rise?
Tricky question when you think about it.There's a patch of stars around the celestial pole that are "circumpolar" ... a kind ofmisleading term that's used to indicate that they don't rise or set, they're always up.The angular radius of the circumpolar region (the altitude of the pole in your sky)is equal to your latitude, and it's also the range of azimuth on your northern orsouthern horizon where no stars rise or set.So we're going to say this: Stars can rise or set anywhere on the horizon ... atazimuths from zero to 360 degrees,excepta space either side of the sub-polar point on your horizon (north horizon in the northern hemisphere, south horizon in the southern hemisphere) equal to yourlatitude, on each side.So, in the northern hemisphere, the answer is:All azimuths between (your latitude) and (360 minus your latitude).In the southern hemisphere, the answer is:All azimuths between (zero) and (180 minus your latitude), or between (180 plus your latitude) and (360).==========================================Epilogue:Looking back over this presentation, the same contributor is suddenlyovercome by a deep conviction that it's baloney. But I'm tired. MaybeI'll come back and fix it. In the meantime, don't use it on a bar bet.
What is the maximum number of degrees it is possible to move the north equator- 180 degrees what is this point called?
The maximum number of degrees you can move around the Earth is 360 degrees, which would bring you back to your starting point. The antipodal point on Earth from the North Equator, located at 180 degrees opposite, is called the South Pole.
What is the maximum latitude of the circle of illumination on any of the solstices?
The maximum latitude of the circle of illumination on any of the solstices is approximately 23.5 degrees north or south, depending on the specific solstice (either summer or winter). This is due to the tilt of the Earth's axis relative to its orbit around the sun, causing the sun's rays to be most directly overhead at these latitudes.

What is the back azimuth of 223 degrees?
As the request is for the back azimuth, then what is wanted is the reverse (or inverse) of the azimuth, 223 degrees. In other words, an object moved in the direction of 223 degrees (Southwest relatively), but now the desire is to reverse the travel in order to arrive at the starting point. (That starting point would have to be Northeast relatively.) One does not typically work with directions exceeding 360 degrees nor less than 0 degrees as that range is the range of a compass. Therefore, the back azimuth of 223 degrees, whatever it is, must be between zero and 360 degrees. To determine the back azimuth all that is necessary is the knowledge that 1) the back azimuth is the opposite direction of the azimuth and 2) 180 degrees either added or subtracted will yield the back azimuth, and 3) the correct back azimuth must be in the range of zero to 360 degrees. Given this knowledge and the variable definitions Ab = Back Azimuth and A = Azimuth, Ab = A + 180 or Ab = A - 180 But which equation yields the correct back azimuth? Using knowledge point #3 above, the correct result will be the one that is between zero and 360 degrees. Therefore, Ab = A - 180 = 223 - 180 = 43 degrees is the correct back azimuth. The other choice, Ab = A + 180 = 223 + 180 = 403 degrees, exceeds the range of the compass, so 403 degrees cannot be the correct back azimuth.
What is the back azimuth of 168 degrees?
348 degrees. It is the exact opposite on a compass dial. 168 is 12 degrees before due south, so the back azimuth is 12 degrees before due north.
What is the back azimuth of 94 degrees?
Nominally 274 degrees. But on the real, spherical earth, the farther north you are, and the farther apart the two points are, the more the true back-azimuth will depart from 274 degrees.
What would be the back azimuth of 265 degrees?
85 degrees (provided the distance is not more than a few miles).
The distance of a star in degrees on the horizon as measured from true north?
The distance of a star on the horizon, measured in degrees, is called its azimuth. Azimuth is the angle measured clockwise from true north to the star's position in the sky. It can range from 0° (north) to 360° (back to north).
What is a back bearing in orienteering?
a back bearing is the reverse azimuth you are on. So, if you are moving on a bearing of north by northwest say at 22 degrees your back bearing is 202 degrees or the exact opposite.
Will allister azimuth come back?
I don't think so cuz I got All4One and hes not in it and I know dead guys don't come back to life.
How does ratchet die?
In ratchet and clank future a crack in time by allister azimuth and then clank goes back in time to save him
What is meant by the big dipper is 25 degrees long?
When it is said that the Big Dipper is 25 degrees long, it means that the distance between the two stars at the end of the ladle of the Big Dipper is 25 degrees when measured in the night sky. This measurement helps to estimate angles and distances in astronomy and navigation.
Is a sister a closer relative than a mother?
No. Your closest relations are your parents and your children - you are separated by 1 degree of separation. To get to your sister, that's 2 degrees (up to mom, down to sis). When determining degrees of separation, you always have to work back to the common ancestor and then down to the person, and each step is a degree.
What do you get when you get all the zoni in ratchet and clank a crack in time?
When you get all the Zoni aftre you beat Alister Azimuth you go back in time and defeat Lord Vorselon for the last time
