Hello
I'm building diagrams with components to be used in a project. Each shape represents a component needed and in some cases we need multiples of the same shape. I'd like to create a materials list based on the shapes used in a diagram and ideally if multiples of the same shape are used then this will automatically be indicated in the "qty" field of the CSV file.
Is this possible?
Thanks!

Hi Caza thank you for contributing to the Lucid Community! The CSV export of Shape Data will have an individual row for each type of shape in the "Name" column and the shape content in the "Text Area" column. In the example screenshot and corresponding Lucidchart document you can see the multiple Process shapes appearing as "Process" in the "Name" column.
I am glad to hear that you have managed to tally the shapes in your diagram from within Google Sheets. Please let me know if you have any additional questions or concerns!
I've managed to setup a function in google sheets to basically combine and sum rows containing the same value (ie. SKU). No need for this functionality on Lucid side of things.
