hello guys,

is there a way to add and extra COUNT field to the windows schedule im working on?
this way I will be able to have a LEVEL COUNT and a TOTAL PROJECT COUNT.

Thank you

Take these steps:


Fields tab > add Count to the schedule
Fields tab > add Level to the schedule
Formatting tab > select Count > check Calculate Totals
Sorting/Grouping Tab > check Grand Totals
Sorting/Grouping tab > Sort by: choose Level > check footer > Choose footer style
Add other Sorting criteria as needed...

Thanks Steve.

if I do what you say, is there a way to add this schedule to more than one sheet (each sheet shows one different floor level), and have it displaing only information relative to the level showing on the current sheet?

Yes sort of. You use the filter tab to specify Level as your filtering parameter and then choose a condition such as "Contains..." and then enter the level you want to filter. This will either show just the level or everything but that level. Just depends on how you set up the criteria.

Duplicate the schedule (right click on the schedule name in the browser, choose Duplicate) adjust the criteria for the filter... second schedule done. Repeat for each floor.

Add them to your sheets.

Set this up in your office template and you won't have to do all of it again...just adjust the filters for the current project needs.
