Schedule Calculated Value

It can be difficult add formulas to schedules when you are working with combinations of system and component families, as they are contained within the project only. You have an option for adding a formula in the schedule under the Calculated Value tool.





















For this example I am just going to add a simple formula that calculates the total cost of certain walls. The Calculated Value is just the Area of the wall multiplied by the Cost /sqm.


















You have had to add a ‘/1’ at the end of the cost to bring it back to the same units at the Area parameter. You can use the box with the 3 dots to pick the parameters, rather than having to type them all.

Now you schedule has the total cost of the walls.
