Heat Map In Visio 2007 Using data from Excel

[deepakmalik]

Hi

Can some one please advise on how to link excel data to visio shapes...
Basically i am trying to generate a heat map..

I have got a visio structure (very basic, just set of linked squares) i want to colour those boxes based on the status of items in those box in an excel file...

For example..

The box in visio file says X PLan
In the excel file the Status of the X Plan is submitted

I want to have the box coloured as Yellow

Now the status of X plan in Approved
I want the colour of the box to be Green

Note: I am using visio 2007
