I want to solve the following LP transportation problem graphically in Excel: Des Moines has a monthly limit of 100, Evansville's limit is 300, and Fort Lauderdale's limit is 300. Each warehouse is limited in its storage with Albuquerque at 300 but Boston and Cleveland at 200. The costs of shipping are shown in the table. How much should each factory send to each warehouse?

Warehouse
Factory Albuquerque Boston Cleveland
Des Moines 5 4 3
Evansville 8 4 3
Fort Lauderdale 9 7 5

I don't need a solution to this problem. The question I have is: Does anyone know a convenient way how to draw a network diagram in Excel? The onliest way I have found is to use shapes; however, this can be time-consuming, especially with labeling all arcs. Thank you in advance!
