Archi-Lab Read Excel Not working (or is it just my computer?)

[manishpaulsimonTV4Y5]

I tried using .xls, .xlsx files. But nothing worked.

I was trying to write to my key schedules using this node (which was another script). I think I need to use this Read Excel node here (in comments)

Any advice on this would be much appreciated

Hi @manishpaulsimonTV4Y5 and welcome

use the OpenXMLImportExcel instead

thankyou so much

Hi I got a new error now.
I asked chatgpt and it asked me to install " Open XML SDK 2.12"

But I have no idea how to do this

I even tried this suggestion:

Archilab keyschedule node

I created a dynamo script, using the archilab keyschedule, node to import excel information into a key schedule in revit 2023. When I tried to use the same script in 2025, it runs but does not update the key schedule. It shows no errors. When I look at the value in the keyschedule node in 2025 it shows null. Does anyone know what might have changed in 2025 to make the script stop working? If anyone has a suggestion on an alternative solution that would be much appreciated

But it didn’t work. Using Revit 2025 latest release

what happens to the good old Data.ImportExcel? arguably slower and it requires excel to be installed but it was the goto option before OpenXML.

@manishpaulsimonTV4Y5

it’s probably a confilt with an addin or a dynamo package

• deactivate the addins (possible with Revit 2025)
• if there’s still a bug uninstall the dynamo packages one by one

Thanks… Yes it was one of the packages. I’m not sure which one…
The openxml.Import node works fine now.
