Importing excel

[Anonymous]

does anybody know the way to get an excel spread sheet on a view in revit. I need to display my ventilation calculation which are in excel files. I have tried to put them into autocad first and then import them into revit but the resolution gets messed up and you cannot read them. Can anyone suggest a better way.
thanks

This probably isn't the best way, but I create a PDF from excel, then I save the PDF as JPG in Photoshop, which I then drag into
Revit. It doesn't give a real clear image but it works.

I would like to hear other suggestions too.

Thanks,
John

well, you can link the XLS into AutoCAD, and then link thw DWG into Revit.

I have found that there is no way to link an excel schedule into Revit without creating an AutoCad table and linking that in. Does anyone know if this is correct?

Also, after creating the Autocad table, I am having problems with wrapped text not coming into Revit correctly. In some instances it works fine, in others it does not. Anyone know a fix to make the Autocad table link into Revit exactly as displayed in Autocad?

If you were to consider third party software, take a look at
