You probably know Visio from network diagrams, flowcharts, org charts, and floorplans. But did you know that you can light up any Visio diagram with data visualizations? You can attach data-driven icons, progress meters, ratings, bar graphs, and text callouts; you can even change the colors of shapes in the diagram based on underlying data values. Where does the data come from? Pretty much anywhere you’d like. Just use the embedded wizard in Visio to link to Excel, SharePoint, SQL, or almost any database via ODBC. You don't always need Power BI or Tableau to present sophisticated data visualizations. Attend this session to learn how to turn ordinary Visio diagrams into BI dashboards.

This session is designed to create "aha" moments -- usually several per person -- as I reveal data as Visio's superpower. The session is fun and informative.
