I'm trying to display hyperlinked excel data on a Visio shape but the hyperlink doesn't transfer. Imagine I have an excel sheet for a blog. It has 3 columns, 1 for ID, 1 for Title of blog, and 1 for Author. I have the title of the blog in normal text, but the cell is hyperlinked to the actual blog. So it displays "How to Write a Blog" in the cell, and that text is hyperlinked to the actual blog content.
I import the data into Visio and display it as Shape Data, and the shape displays "How to write a blog" but the text is not hyperlinked -- how do I get that Shape Data text to be automatically hyperlinked to the blog content the same way it does when it's in the excel document?
I'm using Visio plan 2 desktop.

I added office-vba-dev tag, you will get more help from it. The reason why we recommend posting appropriately is you will get the most qualified pool of respondents, and other partners who read the forums regularly can either share their knowledge or learn from your interaction with us. Thank you for your understanding. -
