Export / Import Interactive Schedules

[Anonymous]

Hi...

Is there a way where I can export the schedule we have generated...
then open it in another program (i.e. excel)
edit the data
then reimport it back to repopulate the schedule fields?

I see the Schedule exports into xml
I can open xml in excel but it doesnt retain its layout
ideally i would like to open xml in another program
edit fields and then reimport the xml back to archicad

You have several options.

With the schedule displayed, you can use File >Save As and saved to Tabbed Text, which will open properly in Excel.

From Publisher, you can publish the schedule as a List. Same thing.

Saving from a Schedule Window (Interactive Schedule)
Schedules can be saved in the following formats: Tabbed text, DWF, and PDF. From a PC, with MS Office, you can also save in .doc and .xls formats.

I don't think I have ever gotten this to work.

I can save Lists, but not interactive schedules.
I can Publish it to XL.

I have and interactive schedule open. I click File>Save As, and nothing happens.

I had trouble with this before and the trouble seemed to be that the name of my schedule was 8" Concrete Walls. It was the " that I thought was the problem.

Now I have changed the name and I still can't get it to work.

I just saved one in .XLS format from V12 with no problems at all.

Interesting, I tried and it does not save as XLS for me either, with AC12 on Vista 32-bit. I have MS Office 2003 on my system. What do you guys have?
I even managed to crash the program while trying.

I am using Microsoft Office Small Business 2007
Windows XP Pro x64 Edition 2003 SP 2

So our systems and Office versions are different and still we both have problems. That may be a bug.

Not possible. Why would you want to do it? Might be able to give you another method to accomplish your goal.

Works fine for me on Mac. Save As dialog format choices attached. Did not try on XP to see if the Office formats are available. (Tabbed text is adequate.)
