Creating chart from Excel data

I have tried to copy Excel data into Visio to produce a chart but it just comes out as a string of dialogue, not in tabular format. What am I doing wrong?

For upcoming training course dates see: Pricing & availability

Carole

Thanks for your question.

Create a chart in excel and save, go to visio, click on insert object, select excel chart, from file, and select the chart, follow directions, click ok and it should appear in your visio drawing.

hope this helps
