I am working on a project which consists of making flow charts for the manufacturing process of all my company's products. I was wondering if there is an easy way to derive an excel spreadsheet from our database and have Visio generate all the flow charts for me using the "Link Data to Shapes" function. If it is possible, a lead on how to learn how to do this would be appreciated too. You would be saving me hundreds of hours of work.

The visio sdk has an example solution on reading an excel spreadsheet to create a flowchart.
