I'm able to import objects into a diagram from Excel without a problem; however, I also want to define connections (just lines - what object the line starts from, and what object it goes to) in Excel as well, so I don't have to draw them manually.
How do I go about doing this? How should I define that in my Excel spreadsheet, and how should I import those relationships into Visio?
I'm on Visio 2013 Professional.

I have more than one-thousands records in excel sheet. now i want to import those records into data list in alfresco. But it seems to be very bad practice to copy those records one by one to data-list. so is there any way to import all records from excel to data-list in alfresco. my alfresco version is community 5.2 , i made custom data-list with the same columns in alfresco but i don't know how to import these data from excel to it. i found some solution for export Data-list to excel , but for import i could not find any things.
could any on help me ? is there any solution ?
For converting excel data to Data List, There's no OOTB feature. you'll have to create your custom logic. The easiest way would be to write a java based webscript that takes your excel and using a library for parsing (e.g. Apache POI) iterates through each row in the excel and add values to your datalist.
To add data list from code refer documentation. it contains both java and js example. Add your custom datalist URI and properties.
PS: There is an extension. but its for community 5.0.
Exported data from CRM2015, updated one field in spreadsheet that needs updating, resaved as Excel 2003 xml format.
Struggling to see how to import back in to get it to update existing contact using the 3 fields the export from CRM included.
All it does is attempt to create new records.
Do not save it as Excel 2003 XML format if you want to re-import the file. 2003 XML-files trigger the old-school import process, where it is not possible to update existing records (but on the other hand you have more options for mapping data).
Instead you should simply re-import the original .xlsx-file. This will automatically update the existing records in CRM based on the information in the first three hidden columns.
I have an Access database that creates a Word document based on a Word template. In that template are a bunch of Charts, which in order to change their data, I have to programmatically launch an instance of Excel for each chart, change the data, then update. This is not only distracting as it flashes each Excel worksheet up on the screen then disappears, but it's incredible slow.
It would be great if the Word template could be linked to an Excel workbook where each chart is linked to that one workbook. Then, I could update the Excel file and the Word doc separately. Much faster.
The problem is, I would require there to be a separate Excel file for each Word doc. Basically I'd need a Word template to link to an Excel TEMPLATE. Then when the new Word doc is created from it's template, it's linked Excel stuff is linked to a new Excel file based on an Excel template.
Does this make sense? I just can't all Word docs linked to a single Excel file.
Thoughts?
My company has a Visio document that displays a proposed server relationship structure. For each 3D server shape, we have added text to the shape data, e.g. IP address, Server Name, RAM, Service Tag, etc. We would like to be able to print the shape data as an additional sheet to our main server structure document in preparation of meetings.
We are using Visio Professional 2013, at the application level, and we are unable to figure out how to print this shape data. I have not even been able to figure out how to export the data to Excel so I can print from there. Can someone please help, all the information on the web is for previous versions of Visio? Thank You.
You could try "Shape Reports" on "Review" Tab.
This function allows you to select the shape attributes for the report, format of the report (html/excel/extra page/etc), and execute the report.
I have a report that will be viewed from SSRS report manager and scheduled to send a flat file as well. The problem is that the rich display, summation rows, and some other elements that are perferred when viewing the report online or as a PDF are not wanted when the report is viewed in Excel or when it is exported to CVS. The solution I proposed was to simply have two reports. One that was nicely formated and the other that was more of a raw data feed but they want only one report meaning that I need a way to show one thing if it is viewd online or saved to a PDF and something different when it is saved to CVS or XLS. Is this possible and if so how?
When exporting to .csv format, many fields are stripped. Have you looked at what the existing functionality does to your report?
If that's not adequate, you can use the new SSRS 2008R2 global variable to change item visibility. For example set the hidden function to:
=(Globals!RenderFormat.Name = "EXCEL")
This would hide something when exported to Excel format. (This is only available since SSRS 2008 R2.)
