Export Format
This page describes exactly how Trello to Excel structures the downloaded .xlsx file.
File Name
The downloaded file name is:
<board-title-first-20-chars>-trello.xlsx
Example:
- Board title:
Product Roadmap Planning 2026 - File name:
Product Roadmap Plann-trello.xlsx
Worksheet Name
The generated worksheet name is:
Trello <board-title-first-20-chars>
Column Mapping
- Each Trello list title becomes a column header in the first row.
- Headers are exported in the same order they are read from the board page.
Card Mapping
- Every Trello card title becomes a row entry.
- Each row contains the card title under its corresponding list column.
- Other list columns in that row are empty.
This means the output is card-centric (one row per card), not position-aligned across lists.
Example
Given lists and cards:
To Do:Card A,Card BDoing:Card C
The exported sheet is equivalent to:
| To Do | Doing |
|---|---|
| Card A | |
| Card B | |
| Card C |
Current Scope and Limits
- Export source: The currently open Trello board page.
- Domain support: trello.com only.
- Page requirement: Board URL with
/b/. - Data exported: List titles and card titles.
- Data not exported: Labels, members, due dates, checklists, comments, attachments, or card metadata fields.
Why These Limitations?
This extension focuses on the core use case: exporting list and card structure for analysis and backup. If you need additional metadata, let us know on GitHub.
