How do you export a dictionary to excel?

Hi,

I am trying to export all of our Revit errors into excel, these are taken from a federated model and the best way to keep the relevant information together is thorough a dictionary, unfortunately the dictionary information does not export to Excel. Does anyone know of a way to accomplish this?


P.S. That passthrough is completely unnecessary I’m not sure why I put it there.

Thanks,
Lucas

You can turn them into lists through nodes. What is the structure you want in Excel? That is how you would set up the lists.

There is a Dictionary.Components Node to read a Dictionary, export that data to excel.

That’s what I ended up having to do, it’s unfortunate that there isn’t really a way to directly export dictionaries.
-Thanks

That’s a limit of excel - it doesn’t understand the language of dictionaries any better than I understand French.

In my situation, we can use Google translate or similar service.

In Excel’s situation, we can use another method of translation, as noted above.
