Hi, I've been looking around online for how to use data graphics but for some reason, nothing quite explains how I achieve what I want.
I have an Excel spreadsheet. My rows are the names of 20 machines. And the columns are the C drive space used, C drive space total, D drive space used and D drive space total. I want to have two hard drive icons: one displaying a progress
bar of C drive usage and one displaying a progress bar of D drive usage.
Here is what I've tried.
In Visio 2013, I imported the Excel Spreadsheet, dragged a hard drive icon (shape) into the workspace. Then I right-clicked the shape, and selected Data > Edit Data Graphic.
The New Data Graphic window pops up so I tried to create a new item. And here's where I get stymied. I'm not sure what Data Field to select because the list of Categories aren't relevant...
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
EDIT: I discovered that when I drag a database icon and try to create a new data graphic, now I see a whole bunch of appropriate items under the Data Field dropdown. Then, I tried dragging a server icon and now the "Hard Drive Capacity" data field is present. Why aren't those fields present in other icons? Now, I have the progress bar displayed but how do I select the data?
