Hi All,

I am having Microsoft Office 2013 installed in my laptop.

I have a requirement to develop code which creates Vision flow diagram with excel inputs. I have to use the organization chart of folder hierarchy using DIR and TREE commands. The diagram needs to show the files and folder hierarchy of a network drive. I have taken the data using DIR and TREE commands, but I don't know how to use this info in Visio.

Does anybody know any way to do this? Please help me on this one guys.

Hi,



You may try this!



Option Explicit



Sub VisioFromExcel()



    Dim AppVisio As Object

    Dim oCharacters As Object

    Dim lX As Long

    Dim sChar As String

    

    Set AppVisio = CreateObject("visio.application")

    AppVisio.Visible = True

    

    For lX = 1 To Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row

    

        AppVisio.Documents.AddEx "block_u.vst", 0, 0

        AppVisio.Windows.ItemEx(lX).Activate

        AppVisio.ActiveWindow.Page.Drop AppVisio.Documents.Item("BLOCK_U.VSS").Masters.ItemU("Box"), 1.35, 9.8

        AppVisio.ActiveWindow.Page.Shapes.ItemFromID(1).CellsSRC(visSectionCharacter, 0, visCharacterSize).FormulaU = "20 pt"

        

        Set oCharacters = AppVisio.ActiveWindow.Page.Shapes.ItemFromID(1).Characters

        oCharacters.Begin = 0

        oCharacters.End = Len(oCharacters)

        sChar = Cells(lX, 1).Value

        oCharacters.Text = sChar



    

    Next

    

    Set oCharacters = Nothing

    Set AppVisio = Nothing

    

End Sub



Hope this works for you!
