I have a tutorial on how to make a chart in a cell which lets you control chart size by cell size. http://processtrends.com/pg_charts_chart_in_cell.htm Ask ET (Tufte) has an extensive discussion page dedicated to sparklines. Best place to start to get understanding of sparklines, what's out there. http://www.edwardtufte.com/bboard/q-and-a-fetch-msg?msg_id=0001OR&topic_id=1 Here's a link to an Excel specific sparkline tool - http://sparklines-excel.blogspot.com/ Here's a link TinyCharts http://www.spreadsheetml.com/sparklines.html Bonnavista Systems, a part of XLCubed, has an Excel add-in call Microcharts. Here's their link http://www.bonavistasystems.com/Products_SparkLiner_Overview.html Bissantz has a Sparkmaker 4 add-in. Here's their link http://www.bissantz.com/sparkmaker/index_en.asp The last two are commercial tools, both allow you to download and try out their add-in during trial period for free.
