But if you're OK with VBA, perhaps you need a more sophisticated implementation, like a treeview?

Thank you. I was out at meetings yesterday.
The Smart looks useful, the Art is fairly redundant.
As far as I can see from the Smart Art help page, all the text needs to be typed into the text pane.
However, I am editing the databases daily (with > 2 million data points) which I should like the hierarchy to reflect.
Can the smart art tool import live data from, say, a spreadsheet? If so, what format and links does that database need to have?

- Manchester05Oct 12, 2023Copper ContributorI am very grateful sharing for your wealth of knowledge. It looks as though I need to go off-line for an intensive sharp learning curve of VBA, before my spreadsheets become too difficult to re-jig to link efficiently with the VBA methods.
Thank you
