Thanks David,

can i also specify in a list the only 3 parameters i need rather than everything within the whole project

DYNAMOBIM%206

I only need the parameters from List 0 which node would i need to only show this please thanks for the help so far ?

Just make the same graph you had and put element.elementtype node between all elements of categories and the element.getparametervalue node that will work

It doesn’t matter if item 0 is a list or something else (single value)

Are you able to show me an example please.

Check this out and let me know if it works

This is perfect thank you David, this has succesfully exported out the values, anyways i could get the headers to appear to to show it coorisponds with the revit headings such as ADBCode, ADBGuide, ADBDescription

Now you can export it to excel and rename it :muscle:
