You can create a flowchart in Excel by opening a new workbook, adding shapes such as ovals, rectangles and diamonds, arranging them to set up the workflow or process, and then adding lines to connect the steps. This process may take some time and effort, but it is possible to make a flowchart in Excel if you need to use this spreadsheet app for everything else. Alternatively, there are more effective tools available such as Zapier Canvas that offer smart layouts, advanced customization features, workflow management tools, sharing options, and automation capabilities, making it easier to create and manage flowcharts without the hassle of using Excel.
