Error using Visio Org Chart Wizard
I'm trying to use the Visio 2010 Org Chart Wizard using data from an Excel file. When I get to the point of importing the data from Excel, I get an error message that says "Unable to read names from your file." I tried exporting and
existing org chart to Excel then importing it back in, but I get the same error. I'm on the most-current release of Visio 2010. Has anyone else seen or solved this problem?

Hi,
It sounds like the column names in the excel file aren't using the correct format. Take a look at the sample excel file that comes with Visio and compare it to your version of the information. It should be somewhere near here
c:/program data(x86)/microsoft office/office14/visio content/1033/orgdata.xls

Hi Jaynet,
Thanks for your quick response. I tried opening this file: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office14\Visio Content\1033\ORGDATA.XLS and got the same error message. I was able to use the .txt file though. It's a strange problem!
