Hello, I´d like to create a timeline using microsoft visio. I´ve created an exel list with start date, end date, type of event (milestone, project, side event). Is it possible to create a timeline using these external data from the beginning. To my knowledge it is possible to link every visio milestone with each of my exel rows. But this is very laborious. Is it possible to assign the exel columns like „start data“ to the respective visio „field„? Thanks for your help in advance, Steffi
