Morning.
Do you do a course on using Visio to creat organisation charts from Blueprint data?
Thanks,
RE: Visio and Blueprint
Hi Claire
Visio can be used to draw anything you lie, including blueprint diagrams. It really depends on what you intend to create. Visio can handle technical diagrams that must be accurate by scale.
Take a look at our Visio courses and see if it suits your requirements.

Hi Richard
Thank you for your reply to my powerpoint message too. I dont think the course really fits what we need to learn. We have visio so that we can use it to build complex organisation charts using the company info contained in Blueprint but it's proving more difficult than our initial training (with a company other than Best Training) allowed for. Thinking aloud, maybe it'd be useful to go to the basic visio course to learn to format the charts once produced but it's the actual transferring of specific data that is proving difficult (using the filters, etc) and that's our priority for now.
Thanks anyway.
Claire

HI Claire
You could also go for a tailored closed company or onsite training. There is no extra charge to tailor the course.
If this is something you might consider, I recommend a chat with our enquiries team on 0208 682 4973

Creating an organisation chart in Visio using Excel data
A quick and easy way to create an organisation chart by importing names and titles stored in list format in an Excel spreadsheet into Visio.
1. Select File, New, Organization Chart.
2. Start the Organization Chart Wizard.
3. At the first step of the wizard, select the 'Information that I enter using the wizard' option, and click Next.
4. At the second step of the wizard, select Excel, then type the name of the file.
5. Select Browse to choose the location you wish to save the file to, click Save, and then click Next.
6. Click OK - a Microsoft Office Excel workbook will open with column headings already entered for you.
7. Replace the sample text with the text you wish to appear in your organisation chart. By holding your cursor over each column heading, you should be able to view data entry tips.
8. Save the Excel file, then close Excel.
9. Proceed through the remaining steps in the wizard to create your organization chart from the data you entered into the Excel file.
Visio's organisation chart wizard will also recognise the following file formats (besides .xls):
- Microsoft Exchange Server Directory (Microsoft Exchange e-mail Address Book).
- Tab- or Comma-delimited text (.txt).
- Org Plus (.txt).
- Microsoft Office Access (.mdb) or any other file format for a database created in an Open Database Connectivity (ODBC)-compliant database application.
