I want to set up a schedule for kitchen appliances, so far all the type marks, families, model numbers, etc. work just fine. On the AutoCAD schedule I'm duplicating some electrical info is under a heading "LOAD." How do I make this appear in Revit? I was working with project parameters.. thinking the might have to be nested somehow?? Any ideas? Thanks for your help!

CAD schedule is attached.

There is nothing attached but why are you talking about AutoCAD schedules?  You need to add the "LOAD" parameter to your family in Revit.  Look in your help under Shared Parameters.

I was trying to recreate a schedule that I made in CAD, now that I've switched over to Revit. (I attached it here, so you can see)

I figured it out actually. In order the categorize or group the parameters I created all the project parameters (shared isn't the best in my case, because some of it will be filled in by hand) then in the schedule I selected the parameters that needed grouping. For example volt, hp, kw, amp and then selected "group" on the modify schedules tab. This creates a heading above the selected cells that can be filled in I called it LOAD. I repeated this process to group different cells and groups of cells under general, electrical, plumbing headings.
