How to connect Revit to Excel (and Google Sheets)
Architects often want Revit model data in Microsoft Excel or Google Sheets — any category, type catalogs, and schedules — and a way to send approved changes back to the model.
Common approaches
Teams usually export from Revit, use Dynamo, or use a spreadsheet add-in. An export is a one-way copy. Sending changes back to Revit is a separate step.
Archana Tables
Archana Tables is in development. It is a Microsoft Excel add-in and a Google Sheets add-on. It pulls Revit model data (any category, type catalogs, and schedules) into Excel or Google Sheets and sends approved changes back to the model.

Does it work with Google Sheets?
Yes. Archana Tables, in development, works in Google Sheets and Excel, pulling any category, type catalogs, and schedules into the sheet and sending approved changes back to the model.
