Data Visualizer leverages the best of Excel and Visio; you enter data into an Excel workbook and Visio creates a diagram automatically. Join Visio MVP Scott Helmers in this video as he demonstrates how to enrich a Data Visualizer diagram by applying data graphics and changing the diagram layout in ways that are compatible with Data Visualizer.
- [Narrator] Just because you use Data Visualizer…to generate a diagram doesn't eliminate…the use of other Visio features.…You can still visualize data by applying data graphics,…move shapes around to change the layout of the diagram…and use themes, variants and styles to alter its appearance.…Let's start by making a very simple change…to a diagram I created earlier.…I'll type Text in the header of the container…used by Data Visualizer to build a diagram.…To do so, click on the edge or the heading…portion of the container and start typing.…
When you finished, click anywhere outside the container.…Next, I'll add data graphics…and then change the layout of the diagram.…But first, a warning, in most Visio diagrams…you can apply different data graphics…to different shapes on the same page.…But in the Data Visualizer diagram, it's all or nothing.…This might change as Data Visualizer evolves…but at the time of this recording,…when you apply graphics, they're applied…to every shape inside the Data Visualizer container.…
