Calculated Parameter Formula

I know this is going to be super simple for one of you. I would like to take my length information here to multiply by a factor such as 1.1. So what I'm telling Revit is that I want to count 1.1 studs x my length field, I would then have a parameter that would display 268 studs, rounding up of course.

Not sure if I understand exactly what you are asking but this is my guess.

Note: you only have to divide by 1.0' if you are using imperial units (to cancel feet out and convert to an integer)

@EATREVITPOOPCAD <--The name cracks me up. Lol. Here is what I get. The formula feels right but I get <varies> as a result. I'm working in the Schedule Properties to create the calculated parameter.

Just got it, I forgot to 'Calculate Totals' in the Formatting Tab for the result. Thanks @EATREVITPOOPCAD 😁!

Thank you for the name compliments 😄

 

You are getting this result because walls are not itemized in the schedule. What you have to do is itemize them, and then calculate the totals.
