I am creating an ERD and I have a separate spreadsheet containing data about the entities that gets updated regularly (i.e. entity counts). Data linking is the perfect feature here because it allows me to connect the data with the shapes on my ERD, so I can display the data on my shapes and have it refresh as needed. However, the process of actually linking the data seems a bit time consuming and I feel like there has to be an easier way. Currently, I am dragging every row on my spreadsheet on to the corresponding shape/object on my ERD. There are about 120 objects on my ERD so it takes some time to do this. The objects in my ERD contain the same piece of unique information (entity name) as the spreadsheet rows I am mapping it to. Is there anyway for LucidChart to just take the spreadsheet, look at the entity names in each row, and automatically link it to the corresponding object in my ERD?
Is there anyway to automate linking data to objects?
