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.
