Importing Excel cells as a table into Visio

[J Cunningham]

I have some data in Excel that I would like to use in Visio as one 'shape'.
Is it possible to import the data? When copying and pasting, I can either do
a picture, an embedded chunk of Excel, or one solid block of text, none of
which are ideal. What I would like is a table, formatted to match the rest of
the Visio chart, but able to be edited within Visio.

Thanks.

The standard 'import' in v2007 is either datarecordsets (by design
one-way-only) and the database wizard addon (a batch process, not
interactive). Can you import, yes.
You've already mentioned the two scenarios (insert excel object or an array
of shapes). The standard 'editing' of shapes in Visio is limited to
text/shape properties, or custom coding a solution (certainly doesn't
include worksheet functionality). Visio <> Excel.
