Would something like this be good enough?

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Av88pFrCTjLhdFhqMVVTZzZJdWYtT0lYTTV3elpseEE&hl=en_GB

I used a combination of spreadsheet functions, unicode characters and
conditional formatting.

First I defined a
function<https://docs.google.com/support/bin/static.py?page=table.cs&topic=25273>that,
depending on the comparison of 2 cells (this week vs last week),
produces an up arrow or a down arrow:

=IF(B2>A2, "⇧", "⇩")

For the arrow themselves, I used two unicode arrow
symbols<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arrow_(symbol)>
.
Last I applied some conditional formatting to the column, specifying that
the font color should be green if the cell contains an up arrow, and red
otherwise.
