This command imports Excel files into Revit and recreates them as schedules, preserving the original Excel formatting. It helps streamline data integration, reduce manual work, and keep schedules synchronized with external spreadsheets.

Importing New Excel Files

The command allows users to create new Revit schedules directly from Excel files.
Inputs include:

• Mode selection: Import

• Choosing the Excel file

• Optional sheet placement for the schedule

• Option to recalculate Excel formulas

• File path mode (Relative or Absolute)

Three example Excel files—IPE, INP, and IPB—are imported, each generating a new schedule inside Revit.

Updating Existing Schedules

Users can update previously imported schedules after modifying the Excel files.
When using Update mode:

• The stored file path is used automatically

• No need to reselect the Excel file

• All related schedules refresh instantly

If the file location has changed, Update from File lets users select the new Excel file path.

Automatic File Path Handling

Saving the Excel path (Relative or Absolute) ensures schedules can be updated in the future without additional setup, maintaining a consistent and automated workflow.

Benefits

• Eliminates repetitive manual operations

• Keeps schedules synced with Excel data

• Improves efficiency for large or frequently updated datasets

• Ensures reliable, consistent schedule creation and updating within Revit
