wind direction
Is there any way of displaying a cell containing a number 0-360 as a
directional indicator (an arrow or something like that). In need to chart wind speed and direction against some other data nd I can't think how to do it. (using Excel97) Thanks -- Tobit Curteis ________________________ Cambridge UK |

One where A is an up arrow, B is an arrow pointing 1 degree to the right, etc. Someone here will probably have a more elegant solution. Bill |

Would something like this work as a demo? You may have to have an event
macro fire to set this up correctly. Sub Demo() Dim angle [A1] = Chr(223) [A1].Font.Name = "Wingdings" With Range("A1") For angle = -90 To 90 Step 1 .HorizontalAlignment = xlCenter .Orientation = angle Next [A1] = Chr(224) For angle = -90 To 90 Step 1 .HorizontalAlignment = xlCenter .Orientation = angle Next End With End Sub -- Dana DeLouis Win XP & Office 2003 "TC" wrote in message ...

Personally, I think that's way cool.
