How to export Jira to Excel with Planyway

When managing your projects in Jira, the need for exporting data is inevitable. You may have to share information with clients, top-management, or just make use of it yourself to have a more profound analysis across your projects. And no doubt, export Jira board to Excel format is the most desired type of extracting data today.

Why export issues from Jira?

Being able to export your Jira issues into the spreadsheet format brings you more flexibility. Here are a few examples of how Jira data can be used further:

Reason 1. Share information with stakeholders

It’s common that we need to share project information with clients, top management or other people who are not part of our Jira infrastructure in order to provide them with the reports for the work we do. 

Reason 2. Analyze data with Excel

If you need to make a deep analysis into your projects and teamwork that Jira reporting doesn’t allow, the means of Excel can help you interpret issue data with formulas and pivot tables.

Reason 3. Migrate projects

Even tough migration is always a very painful process, a simple export that can retrieve all of your issue data without losing anything can be super handy.

How to export Jira issues to Excel?

Planyway app gives you a great help in visualizing your Jira workflow through the means of timeline as well as provides you with the resource management  and time tracking  capabilities. All Jira data including time records created in Planyway can be exported in the Excel file, which is especially useful as Jira itself doesn’t allow Excel export. Briefly, the export can be done in 2 steps:

Step 1. Choose what to export

With Planyway you may choose what data you want to be exported by filtering the view rather than extracting all the data. To export only information you need, set up the following parameters: 

1. Filters. Export issues that are assigned to certain members, tagged with certain labels, or select only certain types of issues and statuses. 

2. View settings. They will allow you to decide whether you’d like to export subtasks, milestones, releases and work log entries or not.

3. Connected projects. You may connect multiple projects to a single view, which will allow you to export several projects at a time.
