Changing Parameter Values of Different Elements in Dynamo via Excel

[sefa]

Hello, I have a system like the one in the image.

My purpose: I have my element names and their new values ​​in Excel. I want to call these values ​​in Dynamo and paste them in place of the old values.

However, it does not recognize Element names. What do you think I should do?

Hi @sefa i think you should try feed in element instead of strings

[sefa]

But my data is in excel @sovitek

[sovitek]

yes but you will need pair these names up with elements, i assume these elements alreaydy exist in the model…

[sefa]

Yes they are available with the same name

I can also use “Family Name” instead of the element name. Will the same thing happen?

[sovitek]

yes it will, try collect your families you wanna pair up with and get its names and then use all indicies of for get the elements

[sefa]

Can you share an example?

[sovitek]

something here maybe…

here for element type in that case these elements isnt are placed yet, but are in the model[projectbrowser only] then you can write to a type parameter
