Does anyone know if it is possible to export panel schedules created by Revit to excel format?

 

Thanks,

Hello there,

 

If you are merely trying to get a schedule into excel format, you don't need OBDC.  All you need to do is got  to your schedule.  Then go to file>export>schedule.  It'll save it as a delimiter text file.  Then go to Excel.  Go to Data>import external data...>import data.  Go find your .txt delimiter text file and you'll get a few dialogs to edit your excel layout.  I just leave as default, and click finish.  You'll see all your schedule in.  

 Now you'll probably have to edit it a bit as you lose merged cells etc.  But a lot easier than typing it out!

 

Hope that helps,

Lorne

I tried to do that and in File>Export>Schedule, Schedule was not available, (Grayed out). I had the panel schedule opened but it didn't work. What else do i need to do?

 

Thanks,

Mike

hrmmm well that stumps me.  I went to my door schedule and it worked fine.  I would say just make sure your schedule is the active window and also make sure it's a Revit schedule.  Not a legend or drawing view.

 

Make sense?

Exporting is nice, but what is the use of it, if you can't import Excel file back to Revit?

Or, maybe I don't know how?

I'm trying to link AutoCAD file with linked Excel schedules, it does not work, Revit don't take schedules.

Maybe I do something wrong?

Well the only use I see, is when you need to send your door/window schedule to say a consultant to edit it and they don't have Revit.  I don't know how to import back into Revit, as the schedule is linked to actual model objects so I don't think it's possible (not for sure).

 

As for autocad, I try not to use it.  So I can't help you there.  Sorry.
