How can I find the x-y coordinates of the upper-left corner of a cell?

I want to insert two overlapping rectangles (msoShapeRectangle) of
different colors into the cell to illustrate the percentage value
displayed in an adjacent cell. Row heights an column widths on the
sheet are not predictable.

Thanks,
Wes
