    Have you tried using Design Center (ADCENTER Command), then simply click the Search button?

    In the Search dialog, filter for Blocks and enter the Block Name you want to look for, then you can populate your spreadsheet, no?

    You might want to try the DwgSearrch Freeware from the Autodesk App Store ...

    Simply check on the Block toggle in the tables section. When the results are complete click the [Copy to Clipboard] button and paste it into Excel or any other application. The DwgSearch is fast because it doesn't actually open the drawings in the editor.

    with lisp you can use getstring to specify a block name, acet-ui-pickdir to select a folder, ObjectDBX/vla-get-blocks to go inside a drawing database and then write the search results to a csv file
