    Question Need Help, Trying to use excel formulas in AutoCAD Table

    Hello all,
    I am running Acad 2007 + Plus some Lisps.

    I am trying to use some excel formulas in an Acad Table. I have not figured out how to make this work at all yet. if anyone has any ideas, I would cerrtainly appreciate it.

    I Started to use fields but was todl that I can not use "if" statements in fields.
    These "If" Statements are needed for this application.

    Thank you all,
    Andre

    I don't think you can use most of the Excel functions in an AutoCAD table.
    If you have a technical question, please find the appropriate forum and ask it there.
    You will get a quicker response from your fellow AUGI members than if you sent it to me via a PM or email.

    Unfortunately AC's tables are not spreadsheets. They're more like tables in Word. The only way I know of getting true Excel formulas into ACAD is to link an Excel sheet in the drawing. Pre 2008 - that means OLE. Since 2008 it can be linked & converted to a table.
