How do I combine three parameters (in a shared property set) into one column on a schedule? Each of the manufacturers and catalog numbers are text parameters. In AutoCAD MEP, I was able to use a formula to combine them into one column, but I haven't been able to make that work in Revit.
This is not currently possible in Schedules. The best you could do is enter the values as one Parameter like:
"XXXXX YYYYY ZZZZZ"
The line will be broken and wrap when the excessive amount of spaces are. This is not a good solution, so I recommend using the link below to voice your concerns. This link is frequently provided by Autodesk personnel around here.

In a project I had to do something similar. One family several types and several possible manufacturers for each type.
I ended up with a schedules like this, which was sufficient for my project.
Above screenshot is a schedule of one family (Troffer Light 1) with two family types (A & B).
However it takes quite some work to get to this.
Basically, within the family I nested three instances of a dummy family (containing the manufacturer/model data)
Maybe this would be sufficient for your project. And it dpeends a lot on how many you would have to do.

Please mention Revit version, especially when uploading Revit files.
