Sir how to get yellow point for user defined box will you please explain thank you sir

Hi David! At about the 3:10 mark here, we see Visio auto-rearrange your arrow in a much less desireable way. You were able to fix it easily here, because the shapes you were using have multiple attachment points. However, I am a database administrator and mainly use Visio for database diagrams, and a constant frustration is the way that Visio will choose a side of a table object to attach the relationship line, and I have never been able to figure out how to manually change that. Do you have any insights on this question?

This is great! I would love a tutorial for this!!! 🙋‍♀

thanks boss.

Just how to make the text grow synchronously with other forms ? thx

Thanks for you replies! I will implement your suggestions!

And I have a second challenge: I would like to have four different org-charts in one visio file. all four charts are based on 4 different tables in excel ( one chart for each department). any idea how to achieve this?

Hi David, nice video-series of visio data vizualiser. Do you know if its possible to change the default colors of different role types in an visio data visualizer org-chart? i was able to change the underlying list of roles based on our internal role structure, but now all shapes have the same blue colorcode. I wasnt able to find editing of colorcodes of the shapes based on role types.

Hi David, Can the above video be used to update text boxes over 25 pages? I have run into a problem, you have previously described that not all pages get the text updated, sometimes they do and sometimes they don't. I need 5 master boxes that automatically update the text on 25 pages, is it possible?

This was incredible! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge! Best regards.

Possibly the least helpful video on YT. No context, no showing how to get to where you're at, no explanation that Layer Manager isn't even a built in visio function.

I do not have the ability to adjust swimlane size at all.

I'm trying to broaden my development skills by utilizing UML diagrams more often, and I got Visio for a pretty cheap price. This was the first frustration I came across, haha. Thank you for the clear and easy solution!

Thank you, kind of a surprise.

Can you edit the Role Types to suit the organisation??

i am trying to simply link and Excel Cell color(red) to a specific visio shape in drawing. Have read just about everything available but it still does not work. Any good simple reference that doesnt require VBA?

Great stuff, Dave! Keep it coming!

Beautiful. Just what I needed! But I'm jealous. You had way better tool icons than I have. Version 2312 in M$365? Is there a place to import more of those?

Can you share the VB code please ?

Hi David, looks like great stuff and read your articles on the subject. But I'm not getting any audio with this video and looks like there should be some. My volume is on max and speakers/bluetooth working. Is it a silent movie?

how do i resize the first vertical swimlane (function 1, 2, 3, ...)

Can it also be done for the format color for box on 1st page to box on second page.

Amazing concept. Please guide us with sample data or file. It will help

Good video, how did you get the report to show page number?

changing in visio diagram, updates excel table; its awesome.

Is there a way to link two shapes where one inherits the shape data from the other, like a parent child relationship? In visio... thank you

Would love to see more - I thought Visio integration was deprecated?

Love it 🙌🏾❤️🙌🏾

This was very informative and useful! I'm having a weird issue though when I close the Visio file I'm working on, these fields will no longer auto-update. I either have to Ctrl+drag to copy and the fields get updated in the new copy or I have to go to the insert field window again and just hit enter even though the custom formula is still there. Is there any way to auto-updating when I close and then open the file? Regardless, this has already saved me a bunch of time and super helpful!

Hello David - thanks for putting together these great videos on the data visualizer. This to me is an amazing feature that has much potential if Microsoft continues to expand the functionality. A question i have that i am hoping you can help me with. I am using the Data Visualizer template for Basic Flowchart Shapes. I want to use the shape called Custom 4 in my flowchart, and since I will need to provide instructions to my users on how to use this, I will have to tell them to select Custom 4 in the Excel spreadsheet under Shape. Do you know, is there any way to rename this shape in the Visio Stencil ? It seems impossible to me to rename any of the shapes in the standard stencils. And it seems like the only option with the data visualizer is to use the standard stencils and no option to use custom stencils.

Amazing do you have an instructional video on how you made the dashboard or can you provide the file and sample data. Nonetheless amazing work!!

manual editing every shape, a nightmare

I appreciate this tutorial. I have a question - I want to change the role types to reflect my organization's role types. I was excited to see I could just replace the temporary table1 with a new one. However, I understood that the employee ID had to also have a leader ID associated with it, in order for the chart to populate properly. I don't see an leader ID in your new chart. How did you get the associates to populate beneath their respective leaders without this? Thank you in advance for your help.
