XL: Arc/Block Arc Adjusted Incorrectly When You Run Macro

   Selection.ShapeRange.Adjustments.Item(1) = 97.1806
   Selection.ShapeRange.Adjustments.Item(2) = 0.3785
				

   ' Instead of 97.1806, use -97.1806.
   Selection.ShapeRange.Adjustments.Item(1) = -97.1806
   Selection.ShapeRange.Adjustments.Item(2) = 0.3785
				

MORE INFORMATION

You can insert an arc or a block arc into a worksheet by performing the following steps:

1. If the Drawing toolbar is not visible, point to Toolbars on the View menu, and then click Drawing.
2. On the Drawing toolbar, click AutoShapes, point to Basic Shapes, and then click the arc (first shape in next-to-last row) or block arc shape (last shape in fifth row).
3. Draw the arc in the worksheet.

You can adjust an arc or a block arc by using the mouse to move the yellow handle inside the arc. When you adjust an arc, you do not actually resize it; instead, you change its angle of sweep and its thickness. When you adjust an arc while recording a macro, two values are recorded into the macro.

However, because of a problem in Microsoft Excel, the first value may be recorded incorrectly; instead of appearing as a negative value, it may appear as a positive value. If you use the workaround in the "Resolution" section of this article, the recorded code will correctly adjust the arc.
