How can I import an excel map into visio 2007

U

unekme

I have created a map, a floor plan of my company's building, using Excel and
need to import it into Visio 2007 so I don't have to recreate the map
completely new into Visio. I am wondering if this is possible. I am just
learning Visio and have been unable to find ways to do this by reading the
Visio 2007 Bible.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

That rather depends on what you did in Excel...

Did you draw a plan? if so, then probably easier to draw it again in Visio
(unless you can find
Did you inert an image? If so, insert it into Visio and add smart desks or
spaces over the top of it.
Did you create a list of people and desks? If so, you can easily link this
to desk or people shapes in Visio.

Short answer is that Visio is your data diagramming application ... not
Excel.
You could add my book to your reading list ...
