Summary

This chapter has gone through the many different sources for importing data into Visio and has shown how each can be done manually or with code. This was followed by examples of linking rows of this data to shapes on the drawing page (again, manually and in code).

The next chapter will go into more detail about displaying this data on the shapes using the Data Graphics feature, whether it be simple text, icons, data bars, or color by value.
