Total of 2 furniture schedules

[violet78]

Using Revit 2008, and I'm still a newbie...I have a separate furniture schedules for first and second floor so I can keep track of how many seats are on each level of an auditorium. How can I get an automatic total for these two combined? Or, how can I make one furniture schedule that lists each level on a separate line, with one grand total?

That's today's frustration! Thanks.

Add the level paramter to the schedule and filter by level.
Omit the filter and you get all levels.

Yes, that's what I've done on the separate schedules to omit the other level. If I take out the level filter, it gives me a grand total for the whole building in one line. I want to show a total for each level on separate lines, and then a grand total at the bottom. Do I have something else set incorrectly? I've attached an image..."Seating-A" with a total of 758 should be split into two lines, first and second floor.

Go to the Sorting and Grouping tab of the schedule properties.
From here you can sort by level (or any other parameter included in the sched) and then get sub-totals by checking the Footer box. To get grand totals just check the Grand Totals box at the bottom.
It looks like you've already figured out that you can uncheck the Itemize Every Instance box to get a more compact listing.
