Hi,

I have a group (with name "rep") of circles, and each circle has a name, c1, c2.. etc. Now, I want to add arrow into each circle. The arrow is added to the excel and named as "downarrow".

Could you please let me know how I can do this?

Click the italics "fx" icon to the left of the formula bar to open the Functions Arguments dialog. Help is displayed for each argument.
This will ungroup the grouped ovals. Need to be grouped after again together with the arrows I would think.
Try on a copy of your workbook as I am pretty sure that there will be follow up questions coming.
Code:
Sub jolivanes()
Dim shp As Object
    ActiveSheet.Shapes("rep").Ungroup
    For Each shp In ActiveSheet.Shapes
        If shp.AutoShapeType = msoShapeOval Then
            ActiveSheet.Shapes.AddShape(msoShapeDownArrow, shp.Left + shp.Width / 2 - 5, shp.Top, _
            10, shp.Height).Select
        End If
    Next shp
End Sub
