Default Circles


I want to create something similar to a round clock face in Excel and I
want to be able to highlight a section say from 12 to 2 in a wedge
shape from center point to perimeter. I can draw the circle but it's
wedges (which will need to increase in size as time goes by) that I
can't do.

Would a pie chart work?

Perhaps a 2 number pie chart (enter 20 in A1, 80 in A2, 'select' the two
cells and Insert, Chart, Pie)

This will normally 'wedge' from 12:00 noon, but rightmouse-click and
you can Format Data Series to move to a 330 degrees axis, and for 30/70
split to a 310 degree offset.

Remove the Legend, and (if needed) hide column A for a picture only
view.

You could borrow some code from Chip Pearson:

Look for Clock.
