I use extended data in block reference to create schedule tables from them. If I want to change some property of several items in one time I don't know how to select them from the schedule table.
In the shedule table, there is an option that you can SHOW some equal items but you can't select them anyway. The FILTER command doesn't access to extended data so I need another solution please.
Someone can help me or give me an idea? Thank you!

....how to select them from the schedule table?
You can not select objects using the table.
1. Use the "Select Similar" for objects or "Edit Style" for styles.
2. Edit object property or styles
3. Right-click on the Schedule Table > Update

Thanks Vitaly! My problem is that I don't have "Objects" with extended data, I have "Blocks" or "Blocks Reference" with extended data. If I pick a Block Reference, I don't show the Similar Menu. Do you understand me? Thank you!
1) Select the schedule table and access it's context menu.
2) Navigate to selection >>> show.
3) Hold control while left clicking a value of one of the schedule table cells.
This will zoom you to the object(s) and add the object(s) to your selection set.

Thanks Micalletti! The solution you offer doesn't select the items, only shows them. Once it showns, I can't select it. In a big drawing with multiple blocks, the show command is ineffective becouse it zoom all to "show" all items and you don't view anything. I would like to change a Property of multiple blocks for example from A to B. Imagine I have several blocks and I have a Schedule Table with 200 blocks with Property A, 200 with Property B and 200 with Property C. I can show trough the Schedule Table all the items with Property A but then I can't select it to change its properties to B. Is there other way to select items (objects, blocks reference, anything) by its extended data?? Thank for all!
Or
1. Create properties for objects or styles
2. Create a table with properties and filters
3. Right-click on the Schedule Table > Add All Property Sets
4. Right-click on the Schedule Table > Selection > Add
5. Open external reference do the same thing
or copy property from source file
...good luck
Even if I convert my block reference to an object, for example a device, if this device has extended data with Property 1 and Property 2 the select similar option menu always select the same device independently of its extended data. I need to select all the items (blocks reference, devices, objects) with a common extended data property. Do you understand what I'm trying to explain? Thanks a lot!
You want to select by object properties?
maybe it will help you >>
Is there a way to select devices by object property data
