A local contractor uses insulated concrete forms (ICF) to build with. He has an Excel spreadsheet that was provided by the manufacturer of the ICF's to do take-offs and estimates. In this spreadsheet you need to input the individual lengths of walls and the numbers of corners in order to get a count for the total number of ICF's needed. My question is this: can a person export from Revit to a specific cell in Excel? It would be nice to go right from the length cell in a Revit schedule to the length cell in Excel. Any thoughts will be appreciated.
Go to your schedule view. File->Export->Scheulde. This will create a CSV
file wchich will open in Excel with no problem.
You could also set up a ODBC database and link the excel file to that - but
that would involve a lot more work.

Thanks for your reply. I am familiar with exporting the whole shedule, I just need portions of it exported to an exact location in Excel. For example, I want the length cell in the Revit schedule to go to the appropriate length cell in the manufacturer's Excel document.
Then you'll need ODBC. You can do what you're taking about with ODBC and
Excel - but is is a lot of work if you only have a few cells that are being
updated.
