Export/Import Excel for Revit is a free add-in that enables you to export schedules to Excel files, edit data, and re-import it into Revit. This add-in is highly useful for anyone looking to efficiently edit schedule data outside of Revit’s interface, especially for those needing to manage large volumes of data or collaborate with team members who may not use Revit. Additionally, the tool supports importing Excel files as text data tables, making it versatile for creating and displaying generic plain-text schedules or tabular data on Revit sheets.
Utilizing the power of Excel in Revit. Users can choose to export individual schedules to separate Excel files or combine multiple schedules into one file, with options to separate or combine sheets within that file. For enhanced customization, settings like Excel file border style, tab color, and headers are configurable, allowing exported files to be set up for better readability. Furthermore, for users with Revit 2022 and newer versions, there’s a “Modify Data in Excel” tool that allows editing of Revit data in Excel without altering protected cells or values.
Integration. The add-in integrates with Revit’s interface, adding three new commands under the MLAce ribbon tab: Export/Import Excel, Modify Data in Excel, and Quick Export to Excel. By working directly within Revit’s environment, the tool allows for a quick transition between data modification in Excel and updates in Revit.
Summary. Export/Import Excel significantly improves data management in Revit. Its ability to export and import schedules to and from Excel provides an efficient way to edit schedule data externally, with added flexibility for formatting and customization. The add-in is especially helpful for complex projects that require schedule updates from team members outside the Revit environment.
