I am using Excel 2010.
Is it possible to represent data as circles?
The effect I want is similar to data bars, except I would like circles instead of bars.
Regards

What do you mean by "CIRCLES"?
Are you talking about pie charts? or maybe Cylindrical Bars?
Happy to Help

Thank you both. No that is not what I looking for.
I think the picture would describe better.

So instead of data bars I would rather want circles to graphically represent by data.

I think that some variation on the bubble chart that newdoverman suggested is your best and easiest idea. Data layout:Select this list/table, insert -> bubble chart.

My problem with using charts is that I would not be able to insert it into each corresponding cell.
Can I not perhaps use shapes (like oval) and give it somehow a value?

With in cell charting like that? I like to think that anything is possible, but this would require more than simple excel formulas. Bars are convenient with in cell charting, because you can choose a "block" type character from your chosen font (Webdings has some choices), then use the REPT() function https://support.office.com/en-us/art...5-d656582bb061 to enter as many copies of the character as needed. With a dot/circle like you are describing, you would need to be able to change the font size dynamically. It can be done with VBA and a change/calculate event, but it is a significant step up in difficulty beyond the simple REPT() function.
I think that you are pretty much stuck as charts are not "cell content" but are floating objects. These are quite difficult to downsize to a reasonably normal cell size.
MrShorty has explained the situation rather well.
Excel 2003 I don't think has "Sparklines" which would give you limited charting to be placed within a cell.
