Electrical Panel schedule | Why two columns for loads?

I'm trying to remove the two columns for the value. It looks dumb, but it doesn't seem to be editable.

Hello,

 

This is because you are using a panel which part type is set to two columns, if you want to have a single column, to do so:

step 1.png

- enter in the family editor

step 2.png

- change the panel part type to One column in the family properties window.

Reload the family in your project and delete the panel schedule and create it again.

It might be worth considering why two columns is useful. The column on the left displays the load on that phase associated with the load on the left. The column on the right displays the load on the same phase associated with the load on the right. This is a compact way to present panel schedules and is the standard format at our firm and many others.

the columns for the left that displays the load on the left and the right displays the load on the right - we want the loads to be calculated as one number.  how can I get this to do in Revit Panel Schedules.  thanks.panel sched..jpg

This is not possible, regarding to the panel organization, you can try to use on column type panel.
