If you need later to convert Jira table to Markdown (md) table, there are two options what to do with Jira data (which can be taken using the way Sachin provided in the comment above).

1. Try to use online tool such as tableconvert.com. It doesn't have input option for Jira, only output (unfortunately), but still can accept simple tables using, for example, CSV input. It actually has plenty of output table formats.

2. I came up with jira2markdown. Since I worked with huge multiline table, I created a new multiline variable in Python console.

* >>> multiline_variable = '''\
... line1
... line2
... line3
... '''
* >>> convert(p)
* remove 
 in the output by any technique, this online tool worked for me since I didn't have convenient terminal

You can also copy-and-paste the table from the jira ticket into Word, and then copy-and-paste the table from Word into Excel. That preserves columns and rows.

In Jira you can export the issues with description field which has the table but it export the table in the wiki format. see the bellow

||Heading 1||Heading 2|| |Col A1|Col A2| |Col A1|Col A2|You have to select the filter in the issue navigator page and export it as Excel CSV.Accept the answer if it helpsThanks,
