Export Smart List to Excel

samycchn says:
After I created a Monthly Status Smart List, I found the list is too long to summarize. However, there is no way to export the Smart List. I can only Print it. Please consider to add export function to Smart list. Export to text, CSV or Excel are needed. Thank you.

Create the list to print, save as HTML, open in Excel, and you'd be in pretty good shape. That's what I do.

Export would be handy anyway. Especially for those using RTM not only for ToDo lists, but any lists.

It should exist a native way to export task lists to Excel.

The work-around mentioned above does work. Go to one of your lists or do an advanced search. At the right side of screen, in the box you have an option to print. This creates a printer friendly version of the page. Now right-click on the page and choose 'save.' In save dialog box, choose 'single page htm.' This creates an htm file that you can open in excel.

Once in Excel, i made a spreadsheet that you can paste your data into and it will parse the data so you can save it as csv. If anyone is interested, i can make the sheet available. I know it's not ideal. Is a multi-step process. But if you're desparate, it works.

I'd really like this feature - I have a fortnightly meeting where we report on what we have completed and in line for the following two weeks. I can print the lists but it doesn't give any details like time taken etc so we can track back and see how much time in total we spent on a project and whether it was more or less etc.

Would love to see a native export function as well. It's definitely useful for reporting tasks.

I just exported my list in an easier way: simply print the list to a PDF. I then was able to see the list in WORD. Also, my PDF program can extract text. I extracted the text and was able to view the text file in WORD. Both the first and second methods yielded files that were editable.

I second this - would be very convenient to export to something like excel. .ics file is a bit obscure.

Yes, please add the export items in lists and smartlists to csv with all fields (project name, task names [concatenated string containing the full path to the subtask (i.e. names of parent tasks)], notes, date fields, estimated time, priorities, ..)!

It would make life so much easier to further analyse work-load and completed tasks.

Thanks a lot for considering!

Let's have the option to export in excel! As a task management software this is a must!

Totally agree!
How do we include this in the priority request list? Many PROS here wanting this working.

The workarounds work, but this is a productivity tool. I shouldn´t have to waste time SAVING AS... OPENING IN EXCEL, COPYING, PASTING...

This should be as simple as clicking on a button and choosing export to... CSV, TXT, XLS, CLIPBOARD.

I use a smartlist to control my follow ups with my team. Every time I want to follow up on stuff I have to go through this annoying process...

I'd love to be able to export in a standard spreadsheet format, especially since not all of the workarounds above even work any more. (At least for me, clicking the print button no longer creates an HTML page but instead takes me to the browser's print options, from which I can create a PDF, which is less useful in this case.)

My instinct is that something might be doable with RTM-CLI, or failing that someone might be able to make a tool with the RTM API, but having something directly in the app would be wonderful.

In fact, it appears that something *has* been done with RTM-CLI. https://github.com/dwaring87/rtm-plugin-export That'll teach me.

If you're a pro user, I just published a CSV exporter which may be useful.
