How to create a cell-sized chart?
Tiny charts, called Sparklines, were added to Excel 2010. Look for Sparklines on the Insert tab.
I got the .bat file to pull the most recent file i am just not sure how to make it repeat every 10min until it closes.

-------------.bat------------------

@echo off
setlocal
set srcDir=C:\Documents and Settings\mrdenham\Desktop\Daily Studies\
set destdir=C:\TARA\File\
set lastmod=
pushd %srcDir%
for /f "tokens=*" %%a in ('dir /b /od 2^>NUL') do set lastmod=%%a
if "%lastmod%"=="" echo Could not locate files.&goto :eof
copy "%lastmod%" "%destDir%"
pause

------------.bat------------------
