trying to link maps and pie charts

[xabi]

Hello

I was trying to link sales data stored in an excel table with a specific
country in MapPoint. This software allows you to do this very easily. You can
even picture the data in piecharts (% sales for each competitor).

However there is very little flexibility with the look of the result: you
cannot choose the color of the slices of the pie, you may not display data on
the graph, and the maps do not look very professional.

I know it is possible to link automatically a table with a shape in visio.
Can this shape be a given country/region on a map? Can the callouts have the
shape of a pie chart?

Thanks to anyone willing to help...

Map shapes are readily available for Visio (just do a web search) and you can
certainly link data to the map shapes and modify the colors.

To make the pie charts you would need to find some pie chart shapes and use
those.
