Mastering Data Visualization with Microsoft Visio

Visit bit.ly/Visio2016Data

Master the art of presenting information visually using Microsoft Visio Desktop and Visio for Web

Microsoft Visio Professional is a data visualization application that is used by many different market sectors and many different departments to represent information visually, from network infrastructure to organization charts, and from process diagrams to office layouts. The book starts off with a brief introduction to Visio Professional 2016 and then moves on to data storage, linking data to shapes, and working with SQL Server Access, Excel, and SharePoint. Then we’ll cover topics such as refreshing data, working with geographical data, working with various graphics, and diagrams, and more. Finally, you’ll find out how to deploy custom stencils, templates, and code.

While Microsoft Visio offers a great range of accessibility features, it can’t always provide a seamless experience. Fortunately, with the right customisations, you can change this.
