Summarize Specific Data for Particular Attributes in Dynamic Blocks

Okay guys so here is what I am looking for, I want to write a lisp or modify an existing lisp, that will select blocks within a given selection frame and summarize the attribute data in table either in the drawing or an excel file.

I found LeeMac's awesome program "Count Attribute Values" but my issues is that for right now its still way over my head so I am having difficulties following much of it. Also I would like to limit it to blocks with a certain name(s) and then within that block only summarize one specific attribute because the blocks have a count attributes which isn't necessary.

If anyone can give me some guidance or something I can build off of it would be greatly appreciated.

Also I know EATTEXT can do this but I am looking for something substantially quicker.

Thanks Jdiala,

Tried it a couple different ways and couldn't get it work. Doesn't error out just doesn't do anything after I select the objects. double checked that I had the right block name and attribute a couple times.

I modified the code above.

Sorry Lee for messing up your code. Couldn't figure it out without using another selection set.

Did it work for you? I am still not getting a table.

Yes, it did work for me. Can you post a sample drawing.

That would be great... I am probably doings something stupid.

Your Code with my Block Names:CountAttributeValuesALT1.lsp

My Test Drawing: Test Extract.dwg

Sorry, my bad. I thought you want to count attribute values.

try this one.
