I have few line segments as a graphic between points described by coordinates
(x,y) and I would like to align labels along each graphic segment with the
segment description. I was trying to use arctangent function but something is
wrong.
Any suggestion?

30 cm
A(x1,y1)______________________________B(x2,y2)
 
Is the problem with ATAN or with aligning?
Please give us more info so we can help
best wishes
 
Sorry for the delayed answer..
I recorded a macro to see how it works and everthing is OK but:

Sub rotates()
With Selection
.HorizontalAlignment = xlCenter
.VerticalAlignment = xlBottom
.WrapText = False
.Orientation = Worksheets("Sheet1").Cells(1, 1)
' cell (1,1) =DEGREES(ATAN(B1/B2))
.AddIndent = False
.IndentLevel = 0
.ShrinkToFit = False
.ReadingOrder = xlContext
.MergeCells = True
End With
End Sub

when I changed .Orientation= Atn (1) didn't work and didn't even gave an
error.
The script runs without an error or result.
I know that after I'll solve this problem I have to follow this algorithm...

Any suggestions? Seems too difficult for me for such a little job!!

Thank all of you and specialy to Bernard V Liengme!
