 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.
