Macro to open excel file in visio to create an organisation chart

Artic

Hi,

I need help with VBA macro in excel and visio.
The requirement is to open an excel file into visio 2007 and create an organisational chart. I need to do this using a macro.
My excel file contains columns Name, Designation, Location.

Thanks in advance.
 
Hi ,

A few points :

1. With the scanty information that you have provided , I doubt that you will too many helpful answers.

2. What I have seen in Googling is that integrating Visio and Excel , and using code in Visio , is much more technical than the usual VBA programming.

3. If your requirement is one-off , it is not worth taking the effort needed to do this ; there is a lot of professional software which has the normal 30-day trial period , in which you can probably develop and print your charts.

4. if your requirement is a regular one , you would be better off purchasing standard software , since there is no guarantee that you will continue to get help / support in future when you wish to make changes.
