I use a channel to create task cards for issues and would like to do some analyzation. Is it possible to export all the data to an Excel spreadsheet?

Hi @Sylvia,

Thank you for posting your question in the Microsoft Q&A forum.

According to your concern, can you confirm what kind of task cards you're using in the Teams channel?

1/ If it's a message-based card (posted into the channel as a message/adaptive card), unfortunately it doesn't have a built-in feature in Excel to import or in Teams to export this.

2/ If the task card is created in Planner/Tasks by Planner or via Microsoft Lists, you can export the whole card into Excel via these guidelines:

For Planner: Export a plan to Excel - Microsoft Support
For Lists: Export to Excel from SharePoint or Lists - Microsoft Support

I hope this helps you move forward smoothly. If you have any questions or need further clarification, please feel free o reach out again on this post. I’ll be happy to continue assisting you.

Thank you for your patience and understanding. Looking forward to your response.

Thank you. Unfortunately, I think it is a messaged-based card.

Hi @Sylvia,

Greatly appreciate your prompt update.

If that's the case, there is one workaround you can export the historical data of the card by using Purview eDiscovery which can help you collect, review and export Teams channel messages. However, the export data is not a clean Excel table but often a file/record that you will need to manually cleanup and modify it before it's ready to be analyzed. For this approach, you will need to contact your IT department and ask for further assistance. You can find more details about this feature here Finding content in Microsoft Teams in eDiscovery | Microsoft Learn

If you need to use task card for issue tracking and reporting, in long-term I highly suggest using Microsoft Lists or Planner for better structured dataset and analysis capabilities.

Thank you for being a valued customer and for contacting us on the Microsoft Q&A forum.

Wishing you a wonderful day ahead!
