Following previous developments on hiding data in excel objects, Excel jSon conversion and dynamic forms I figured it was time to combine all these threads, and have implemented all that as an integrated solution as part of the roadmap project .
Embedding traceability
Having generated a roadmap consisting of Excel shapes from simple data as above, I wondered how to make the shapes ‘clickable’ – meaning that you could click on a shape and bring up a form that could be edited, make changes to the form and write the changed data back to the original data cell.
As usual there was plenty of Excel and VBA oddness to overcome, but you can read about and download the finished product from here and provide feedback or ask questions on the forum.
