Find x-y coordinates of cell?
 

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

Sub whereAmI()
MsgBox (ActiveCell.Top & Chr(10) & ActiveCell.Left)
End Sub


Note that if you select A1 you get 0,0

So it is relative to the top of the shorksheet, not the top of the
application.

Sub test()
Dim rng As Range
Dim shp As Shape

Set rng = Range("B2:D3")
With rng
Set shp = ActiveSheet.Shapes.AddShape( _
msoShapeRectangle, _
.Left, .Top, .Width, .Height)
End With

shp.Fill.ForeColor.SchemeColor = 7 + 6

End Sub
