If you have a collection of documents that contain a field with a numeric value, the following formula in a view column allows you to display a graphical representation of the figure:

@Repeat ( "|";@Length(field))+">>"

Here's an example of how the structure would look in a view:

STATS FOR TODAY (category)
12 ||||||||||||>>
15 |||||||||||||||>>
6 ||||||>>

You could also use view icons, although this could only be used where the originating field contains small numbers. Also, if the view is to be accessed via a browser, keeping it to a text-based representation will speed up the loading of the page.
