Default Inserting Symbols


i am currently working on a report that displays variances for 2004 and
2005. What I am trying to do is build an If statement or a Macro which
will allow me to represent the variance in symbolic form.

For example:
if the difference for a certain field is -10, i would like to represent
that by 10*(arrow pointing down)..so that graphically the user can see
that the difference of last year and this year is down by 10percent...

i hope i am making myself clear, but the problem is that there is no
'insert symbol' in excel! i am working with excel 2000.

thanks! ur help is highly apprecited.
