Microsoft Visio 2010 : Refreshing All Data in Linked Diagrams

The data linking mechanism of Visio is designed for one-way data transfer, that is, for importing data into a Visio diagram. The opposite does not work. In other words, you can refresh the data in a drawing after making changes in a linked data source, but you cannot make changes to data in Visio and then push those changes to the linked data source.

Microsoft Visio 2010 : Linking Diagrams to External Data

Prior to Visio 2007, it was possible to link Visio shapes to external data, but it was rather cryptic, somewhat confusing, and the procedures often required programming or at least some technical knowledge.
