Problem

I have multiple cells in my file and I need to include their origin coordinates in my schedule, or some type of report.

Solution

Since coordinates are not a DataGroup property they cannot be included in a Schedule. However, you can use the MicroStation Reports tool for this purpose, with a report definition similar to the one shown below.
