$Default$ Ellipse segment length equation?

Hi

I am after an equation or spreedsheet to determine the length of a segement of an ellipse given the angle i.e. angle measured from either axis.

Does such a thing exist?

I have the equations for area and circumference so I am guessing there must be some calculus method for getting the information required.

Thanks B
