Moe` Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 Software acad lt 09 excel 07 I'm having trouble getting the attributes that I’ve extracted from the drawing into excel in a readable fashion. The data is all there but it's all in a single column (1 x 19,000 which is just ridiculous). Recently we updated our ver. of excel. My question is are there things I need to do in excel to make the information displayed in the correct format. Or is the problem in the format that I’ve picked to have the data displayed in (.cdf .sdf .dxx) Just need to know if this is a problem I fix in acad or excel. This is the first time i've tried doing this whith the new software. Also when did I become start acting like "the old guy" in the office that is always compling about how the new software makes doing the same task more complicated?

rustysilo Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 Maybe explain the data you're dealing with a little better? You might post your extraction template and your block too. At this point it doesn't appear that anything is so bad. If you have a lot of blocks and/or attribute data then there will be many rows of data.

eldon Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 In the Attribute Extraction process, when you get to View Output, have you tried to click on Alternate View? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JBullseye74 Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 No its called Data Extraction in 2009 - typing ATTEXT gets the box up you have there which isn;t what you want. Go to Tools pull down and click on Data Extraction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
