Guys, I have alot of old flowcharts here done on excel but a an equal number on viso standard. I'm currently updating our processes and a pre-requisite to have them all in the same format. Is there any way I can get these excel flowcharts into viso given the restrictions of age and viso standard. :-\ Thanks!

It depends  ;)

can you send a sample chart and more details (number of charts,...)

If the effort is worth it, you can analyse the excel shart programmatically and recreate in visio.

I googled "excel shapes vba" and got this first hint.

The next search "excel connectors vba" sent me to MS

So it's definitely possible to extract both the data and the connectors from excel.

Recreating them in visio should be simple.
