I don't have the Visualizer loaded so I would need to see example output to determine what is possible. Is the extra data already in the Visio shape's shape data? If so, you can add a field to the text in the shape so it shows that metadata.

If the columns of extra data have not been transferred into the drawing from Excel by the Visualizer then you might need to use your own code in Excel to write the full dataset to the Visio shapes.

If you post your Visio output and/or your Excel table I can provide more details on what your options might be.
