How to create Excel table with desired parameters

[syanchuck]

I created BOM, but it looks different, especially the text. When I want to change the font, it shows me that it is the same font style even if it looks different.

See the image. The top table is that I want to look like.

The bottom one - is that how it looks when I insert it. To change it takes long time. How to make it on AutoCAD with desired parameters?

To be honest, I don't see font based differences between the two tables in your screenshot.

Also important, if we should tell you what is wrong with your drawing, then screenshots helps us to see what you see, but we can't click any item in the image to see the properties of the objects you have in the dwg-file.

The text should look the same like on the top table and you can see that it is different (see the image).

I can also attached the file if it helps.

Are you referring to fonts (as you wrote "shows me that it is the same font style even if it looks different") or to column widths (which I see as the only difference between your two tables)?

The text looks different and the bottom one is not acceptable by our company's standards. (At least  you can see the big difference  between number "1" on the top and on the bottom tables.).

Of course I would like to have the same column widths, but with this parameter much easier to play than to change the text property of every single cell of the very big table.

It looks to me that the top table is using the Arial Narrow font while the bottom is using Calibri.  Notice how more open the top of the 6 is with Calibri and there's a bottom serif on the 1.

Calibri is the default font in MS Office.

Much closer to that what I wanted, but the font is not the same. Regular Ariel is better, but it is slightly different from that what we have.

Anyways, thank you for the good idea!

Finally I went to Text Style and I checked what font was it and it was actually Ariel. But never mind, it solved!
