Microsoft Excel Tutorial - how to draw a semi-circle in Excel.

The Insert Shapes drop-down menu in Excel offers an oval, but not a semi-circle. How can you draw a semi-circle? Most of those shapes include a yellow handle for changing the inflection point. You can use this handle to make the partial circle into a half-circle or quarter circle.

This short video shows you how.

Welcome to my #shorts video on how to draw a semicircle in Excel! In this quick tutorial, I'll show you how to create a semicircle shape using the insert shapes feature in Excel.

First, go to the insert tab and select shapes. You'll notice that there isn't a semicircle option, but don't worry, we can easily modify one of the existing shapes to create a semicircle.

Next, draw a partial circle by holding down the shift key while you draw. Then, look for the yellow handle on the shape and drag it to the edge of the cell border. This will serve as a guide for creating a perfect semicircle.

Once you have the shape in place, use the rotation angle to adjust the orientation of the semicircle. This will allow you to position it exactly how you want it.
