I have displacement data components along north and east how to find its magnitude and direction with reference to north(0-360) in matlab. The components may have same sign or opposite both possible.

Hi Mithun,
You can think of North and East as your X and Y. As you have taken north as reference so use below formulas to calculate magnitude and angle.
Magnitude = sqrt(North^2+East^2);
Theta = atan((-East)/North);
I am using -East because East is 90 degree closewise to North and atan calculates angles in counter clockwise directions from reference.
Thanks,
Deepak

Read comments added already and think before asking further questions. Test the code with a known values.

If (x,y) is a componenet
m = sqrt(x^2+y^2) ; % magnitude
theta = atan(y/x) ; % direction
