Access Schedule Data - Numerical Data

[retug_austin]

Hello, 

Is there anyway to retrieve numerical data from a revit schedule using the API?

The function GetCellText() works to access all numerical data, but it comes in the form of a string.

Reviewing the API functions, it does not seem like there is any great functions to access numerical data, but I am very new to the Revit API. I could write a function to convert the string data to decimal feet, but it feels like there has to be a way to access numerical data.

Thanks!

Welcome to the Revit API.

First of all, I would suggest that you work through the getting started material, in case you have not already done so.

The simplest, clearest and most comprehensive sample I have to offer on accessing schedule data is provided by the article on The Schedule API and Access to Schedule Data:
