Excel Link Vs Onsite Qty Reporting

Taylor Clites · 2025-08-08T15:08:20+00:00

There was an error rendering this rich post.

I'm curios to know if there is a way to use the Excel Link feature and Onsite QTY reporting to limit data entry.

1.) I have a spreadsheet that has a take off by Welds, Flanges, Valves etc. This take off is by Isometric Drawings.

2.) Is there a way to Excel Link where the site time can for example count the welds in the field and it auto populated in the above spreadsheet? In more depth, can I auto build a template in the mark up list where they can pull counts from so they do not need to create their own?

This would be a great tool for % complete and field tracking by ISO, but I'm not sure if its possible to build.

Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated! I'm new to the community so please let me know if this is the incorrect place to ask.

Thank You!

Excel can do a lot, so probably.

You should be able to write some kind of formula that would account for your field welds.
On the surface, this all seems very doable, its just a matter of figuring out the how

Cannot apply comments to measurement markups
Hi. I've been banging my head against this one for a long time and it seems to be an intended feature. For all of my measurement markups, it seems like I can't add or modify comments. It will only prepopulate the comments field based on what I select to show in caption under properties. In practice what this means for me…
