Hello, I am working on a workflow from revit to excel and back. This is based on the archsmarter tutorial. I’m able to get the data out easily. My issue is as the final step where I am greeted with the following error ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/dynamobim/original/3X/c/c/cc9e8c7d7229f374739e7f2c439892cc59ff7d06.jpg) ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/dynamobim/original/3X/2/8/28352a758876423d0688846e87c39312490182f8.jpg) Any assistance is greatly appreciated ---

The wire that connects to the _element_ input port of _Element.SetParameterByName_ should be from _All Elements Of Category_ node and **not** the _Category_ node (as it seems to be in your screenshot) ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/dynamobim/original/3X/a/e/aef5e2312e08bfa14357e34559db055e83980e27.jpg) ---
