SheetLink 1.5.0.0
A free Autodesk Revit Add-in to export your model data from Revit to Excel spreadsheets and Google Sheets and import it back.
SheetLink is a boon for people like us that wants to play with the Revit parameters data back and forth. Not only it allows synchronisation with an external spreadsheet but we can also get some values changed in the Revit itself without exporting. It is undoubtedly the best tool for this purpose, no need to reach out Dynamo.
SheetLink provides a reliable two-way link between Revit and Excel, a feature which had been lacking in Revit for so many years. There are other options out there: free, paid, DIY (via Dynamo), but I've found SheetLink to be by far the most advanced, easy-to-use, reliable option.
