i need to use excel in some calculatoin and i found difficult to write an
equation in polar as polar contain angle, so there is no way to write a polar
if there is no angle.

You are right. If you don't have an angle, you can't write the equation in
polar form.
You may, of course, have parameters from which you can derive an angle.
What is it that you are trying to calculate? Why the particular desire to
do it in polar form?

You could do your math with complex numbers.
To convert polar to complex, use
=IMEXP(COMPLEX(LN(rho),theta))
