I was in Argus DCF for a few years for office then changed firms and asset type and Argus moved to Enterprise so I'm not sure how the Enterprise export looks for retail but is it similar to the first snapshot and are you essentially trying to get to the last two snapshots?

Snapshot 1

Raw Data

Snapshot 2

Output

Snapshot 3

Tenant Rent Roll Model

 

The second worksheet is the model's output/summary so the values are merely references from other tabs.

The third worksheet is mixed, essentially if you don't have Argus you can model some of the more "advanced" stuff like reimbursements.

I use a macro which might get you part of what you want, I haven't figured out importing rent schedules yet. What I do is export the Tenant Report>Tenant Rent Roll into an export package. I also export the monthly cash flows, the Dashboard Reports>Tenant Summary for the MLAs, Dashboard Reports>Property Summary for general assumptions and lease expiration report to calculate WALT. the macro copies and pastes everything from the report package into my model. I haven't figured out a macro to efficiently copy and pate the lease summary report and get rid of everything you don't need.

Sub InPlace_Rent_Dump()
    Dim FileToOpen As Variant
    Dim OpenBook As Workbook
      Application.ScreenUpdating = False
    FileToOpen = Application.GetOpenFilename(Title:="Browse for Your File & Import Range", FileFilter:="Excel Files(*.xls*),*xls*")
    If FileToOpen <> False Then
        Set OpenBook = Application.Workbooks.Open(FileToOpen)
        
        'Copy/Dump in-place rents
        OpenBook.Sheets("Tenant Rent Roll").Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).EntireRow.Delete
        Sheets("Tenant Rent Roll").Range("a10:f40").Copy
        ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("In-Place Rents Dump").Range("B4:G34").PasteSpecial xlPasteValues
        
      'Copy and paste the above with the other sheets and ranges you need for all other reports
          
        OpenBook.Close False
    End If
    Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub

 

What this is doing is after exporting an argus report package to excel and saving it on my desktop, I run this macro to open up file explorer, select the report package from my desktop, it then opens the excel report package and goes into that argus report package and copies all of the cells I tell it to copy(basic rent roll info, monthly cash flow, MLAs, etc.) and pastes it into my model in the cells I tell it to paste into.

I didn't know how to code in VBA, still don't, it was mostly thanks to looking stuff up on stack overflow and trying stuff till I figured it out. AI should make it even easier now, but for me it was all trial and error. 

 

I recently built something out. If you use index/match or xlookup, it gets most of it done. I have sheets to "dump" the argus files and then I have separate sheets to clean them up (Combo of the TRIM function and IFERROR). I then have a separate sheet for leveraged return calcs and unleveraged return calcs. If anyone wants to chat about it, PM. It's not the craziest thing in the world but I think it gets the job done. Open to criticism.
