What I am intending to do is the following: Create a File and Link Several Electrical models Use Dynamo to Export Data from all the linked files into one Excel Sheet I need to Modify the Excel Sheet and Import the Information Back to the Revit Models. I know that we can’t write to linked files, so the intention is to open each individual model and import the information relevant to each model from the excel file. Thank you in advance. ---

@farz.pittmeadows welcome Use basic write excel node for extracting your data from the model. ---

Thank you. I have already done the Dynamo but i have several issues: 1. If i import an electrical equipment on Revit, I can run the Dynamo and am getting all my result on an excel but when i link an IFC or Revit file to a new project, the excel is empty. 2. I want to modify the Excel and important it to the revit model. Thank you ---

Hi, 1. Maybe you overwrite the last excel file with the new data. Try to create first the new excel file and then select it as your excel file in Dynamo. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/dynamobim/original/3X/5/9/596922e7d415875cd9e3c1394f8ed27f08235dbc.png) 2. If you want to push data back to Revit, then i recommend to also get the unique id (uuid) of every element. With this id you can write data back to revit (rows with data and id need to stay together). ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/dynamobim/original/3X/b/d/bdf1c15eeb74ed86c963f5e0fa204ea402592523.png) ---
