Connecting Revit to Power BI : An Introduction to Visualizing Model Data

I am watching this video, is the dynamo still required in 2023 for multi category schedule, or do we have built in options in revit 2022/2023

I click randomly of these 4 to enter schedule properties! Never click right lol.

Will there be more updates video related to power bi and Revit Link up

please upload the scheduled dataset so that can be practiced in powe-bi

For whoever is trying to recreate the dynamo script, please read his note where it says: "REMEMBER TO CHANGE LACING TO CROSS PRODUCT"

My head is frying, after spending alsmot 2 hours trying to figure out what I was doing wrong

Thank you very very much for this video.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts. Loved this Tutorial 👏

I love it, Kudos to you and thanks a million.

This nice!! More information about this theme on the site?

Please do the videos short length

Nice shirt :)

The file menu is slow because revit is going through the "recent documents" list and it can't find one for whatever reason (deleted, changed location or some server that you're not connected to).
It has x amount of tries it performs and it takes time.
To avoid that, just clear the recent documents list.
C:/users/[username]/AppData/Roaming/Autodesk/Revit/Revit{version}/Revit.ini open with text document editor.

At the bottom there is section
[Recent File List]
File 1= path to the file,
File 2 = path to the file....

Delete them. Just don't delete the parameter, which is "[Recent File List]"


Thanks for the video! :)

This is awsome video. Thanks TheRevitKid! Really appreciate it. :D

Based!

Great video! Would love to see a deep dive on power BI dashboards for construction estimating and VDC practices!

Thanks for sharing! Really nice run-through. I love that T you have on in the video, where can I get one?

You are an amazing person 👏🏻❤️

In Power BI how have you got the Count of family Type Column?

Hi, great video! Thx
Is it any colored filter for all color dim ant text ?

Access is the solution

Hi, That is incredibly interesting. Do you have a video that show us how to actually build that script? i am not Dynamo expert.

*revit to txt to power BI. A bit disappointed. Dunno why expected power bi to speak directly to revit. back to python it is

That's amazing.. still learning dynamo to understand fully that code, but definitely showed us a way to approach 5D BIM

I learned alot from your video. In Dynamo, is there a way to extract Type parameters rather than Instance parameters?

Regarding the multi category schedules You could NWC it out into navis works then export the schedule as one excel file (within navis works takeoff). It’s not live but saving quantities with revision history has its perks when recalling cost changes.

I would love to see a video about Assemble!

It is such a helpful tutorial. It is perfectly clear and understandable. Thank you for this great job!

Wanted to thank you for your video and just to let you know, I totally stole your dynamo script and did my own excercise connecting my revit data to power bi! Now if only I could manage to do the same with project online, then I would have a really powerful report tu show :)

Thank you for this great tutorial. It got me thinking of how to use Power BI

Any chance you will consider diving into more of the Power BI dashboards? I'd love to see your process from your actual VDC work and see the entire workflow of how you create and format your excel sheets and how you build those sweet dashboards. I work for a small midwest GC as a VDC manager and would love to start implementing this type of thing to assist our preconstruction team on bids. We have a bunch of existing excel spreadsheets but they are not formatted to be easily used in Power BI. I would love to see you take one of your old excel sheets you mentioned and show us the process of how you took it into BI and then how you would do it now that you know BI.

WOW! I’ve been struggling for a while trying to find a good way to learn BI and this video makes it so easy. Love this! Can’t wait to get back into the office to start creating some dashboards! Thanks, Jeff

Power BI will also live connect to Revit projects on BIM360, no need to export anything, AND you have access to EVERYTHING all at once in the entire project database.

You´re the man! Great job! I´m very eager to try that Revit Power BI integration.

interesting way to use Revit... :)

Great video. I don't get a chance to watch live.
