Manual schedules in Revit 2014

We have schedules that include very complicated math and do not correlate in a one-to-one way with the geometry in the project. It combines it in a very specific way. We currently do those schedules in Excel but cannot seem to get them into Revit quickly and correctly. Is there a way to make a manual schedule that can have formulas? If not we'll just build them in native AutoCAD tables and import them but that seems kind of dumb.

Thanks for your help,

Lisa

Personally we use Excel2dwg. This converts th excel into a dwg (dumb elements) then we link into Revit after a bit of post processing in autocad. Updating takes under two minutes.

we use BIM Query tool that enables us to edit the parameters of a specified Category through a built-in editor using an interface similar to MS Excel. You can save it to XLS file and/or apply it to model.

I described this tool in post http://revittools.wordpress.com/2014/02/12/bim-query-selected-parameters/.

If you don't have or want any addons, then link the table table to AutoCAD, then link the AutoCAD to Revit. When you update the Excel table, open AutoCAD to update the change, the update the DWG link in Revit. More than one step but it should work.
