Default Progress bar in spreadsheet?

I am creating a spreadsheet where I will have a long list of projects. One
column represents the completion percentage for the project. I'd like to
display this as a progress bar. If the project is 50% complete, I want the
left half of the cell to be colored in. If it is 75% complete, I want the
left 3/4 of the field to be filled in, etc.

I don't mind doing this manually if there is a way to do so, but I figured
there might be some type of control that can do this.

I have seen reports built in accounting packages and "dashboard" or "metric
tracking" applications that do similar visual representations for individual
line items on reports.

Thanks for your suggestions!!
