Hi All,

I know I can use single string to do a single family but I was sure I could do it with Excel to Dynamo,

what I’m trying to do is set out multiple families with their multiple types of a families (that are already in the loaded in the project) into a project and place a single instance of each family type, I’ve loaded the families created a set out string, i can array one family no problem but not from the excel spreadsheet, any help would be amazing.

Provided the list lengths match, it’s straight forward
