I'd like to present some data within the cells of a spreadsheet instead
of a separate graph. Basically I want to partially fill the cell from
left to right to indicate a value. I've enclosed an example (modified
in Photoshop) to show what I mean.

Does anyone know of any tricks to do this? Visual Basic? A scaled
graphic? A plug-in?

Thanks in advance for any advice.

Regards,

Jeff

I look forward to trying it, however I'm stuck with Excel 2000 at work,
so I'd like to find a solution in the interim.

I did play with creating a Picture Object in a cell, then having it
resize with the cell. I don't have time to figure out the VB at this
point though, so I'm hoping to "borrow" someone else's implementation
of this if possible.

Thanks,

Jeff
