Exporting schedules to Excel

Exporting a Schedule to Excel

Unfortunately, not everybody is a Revit genius like you. Also, there are some estimating applications that really only work from Excel spreadsheets. As much as I don’t like doing this, it’s a necessary evil, so I should show you how it’s done. It’s pretty simple actually.

  • Open the model you have been working in.
  • In the Project Browser, find REBAR LENGTH SCHEDULE and open it.

  • Go to the blue File tab
  • Go to Export
  • Go to Reports
  • Go to Schedules

  •     Browse to a place to put the .txt file.
  •     Keep the defaults in the next dialog and click OK

  Open Microsoft Excel

  •  Click Open Other Workbooks
  • Click Browse
  • Make sure All files is selected.

 

  • Click Next through the wizard
  • Click Finish
