We can schedule elements that are in linked files but there isn''t a schedule that is only interested in telling us what linked files there are. We can determine which files are linked easily enough while working inside Revit. We can take advantage of the addition of Grids and Levels as elements we can schedule in Revit 2014.

Need to identify what type or category of schedule you are looking at? In the Properties of the Schedule, edit “fields.” The type of Schedule is in the title of the window and the categories is often in the "Select from available fields" dropdown. Key Schedules will not support them. This post is a small fraction.

A few years ago (Aug 08) I wrote a post that explained how to break the relationship between a schedule''s name and its header. With Revit 2014 that approach is no longer necessary. Now the schedule header can be something else and the name we see in the Project Browser can be something else.

Today one of the engineers needed to know just how many of a certain kind of terminal units were in a Revit MEP project. We had already created a filtered schedule, all we really needed was a count of how many rows were in this schedule. The result was a total at the bottom of the schedule without it being added to my sheets.

You may be aware that we can force a schedule field to use a new line by pressing Shift + Enter. This permits you to enter new information on a second line but once you finish editing the cell Revit will only show the single row.
