      <description>&lt;P&gt;I&amp;nbsp;am an&amp;nbsp;environmental engineer and use ACAD for maps with monitoring wells.&amp;nbsp; These wells have groundwater elevations reported and are located all over the drawing next to each respective well.&amp;nbsp; The new elevations are in an excel table.&amp;nbsp; I normally go from the table and manually input the elevations to each well.&amp;nbsp; Is there a way to import the elevations from the table to update them in ACAD.&amp;nbsp; For one site I have 30+ wells and manually there can be a lot of error.&amp;nbsp; Thanks in advance for the help!&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>When you say update them in ACAD, are you talking about changing text objects in AutoCAD based on a value of a cell in Excel?&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;If so, is there always a relationship between a given text object and the location of the data (same Excel file, same worksheet, same cell)?&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hi&amp;nbsp;@Anonymous&lt;/a&gt;,&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Is it possible to share a sample drawing and Excel&amp;nbsp; file so I can see the types of data you are having to update?&amp;nbsp; I would like to explore some options but want to make sure they will work for you.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;

      <description>&lt;P&gt;@Anonymous&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;- one way would be to make a &lt;A style="text-decoration: none; border-bottom: 1px dotted #222;" href="http://www.g-wlearning.com/cad/9781605253282/student/ch11/PDF/SupMat01.pdf" target="_blank"&gt;Data Link to your Excel File&lt;/A&gt;. Then make a TABLE object (not plain text), and link the table to the desired cell or cells in the Excel worksheet. An animation of this is below.&amp;nbsp; I started with a saved worksheet and drawing. Then I update the cell, save the worksheet, then update AutoCAD.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;

      <description>&lt;P&gt;HI&amp;nbsp;@Anonymous&lt;/a&gt;,&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I like&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/274358"&gt;@rkmcswain&lt;/a&gt;'s example for you but we are just guessing as to the information you have.&amp;nbsp; If the values are not numeric then this gets&amp;nbsp;very tricky using a DATALINK.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Another method might be to use the Express tools &lt;STRONG&gt;&lt;U&gt;&lt;A href="https://knowledge.autodesk.com/support/autocad/learn-explore/caas/CloudHelp/cloudhelp/2018/ENU/AutoCAD-Core/files/GUID-2B54F825-CD42-4707-883A-8EFA97F4AB3F-htm.html" target="_blank"&gt;ATTIN and ATTOUT&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/U&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;.&amp;nbsp; Alternatively, you could link all the data to a database using &lt;STRONG&gt;&lt;U&gt;&lt;A href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hlN-7SfMRGo" target="_blank"&gt;DBCONNECT&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/U&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;.&lt;/P&gt;

      <description>&lt;P&gt;That is what I need.&amp;nbsp; Thank you so much.&amp;nbsp; I don't think I can show an example because it is analytical data from a company but this should work.&amp;nbsp; Thanks!&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Thank you John,&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;We used to insert some text instead of numeric values, but they are all numeric.&amp;nbsp; I appreciate your help!&lt;/P&gt;</description>

&lt;P&gt;Having said that, I don't understand why you said that non-numeric values are "tricky"? I made a similar example where one cell is text, and another was changed from numeric to text, and I don't see any issues. Thanks.&lt;/P&gt;

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hi&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/274358"&gt;@rkmcswain&lt;/a&gt;,&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I misunderstood your process but Kudos to you as this might work well for the OP.&amp;nbsp; I originally thought that once you had the datalink table in the drawing that you were then linking a field (perhaps in a block attribute) to a specific cell in the inserted table.&amp;nbsp; That process seems to only like numbers on my side because the link needs to be a formula.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I like your solution!&lt;/P&gt;</description>
