Export Issue Data
YouTrack lets you export data for a list of issues.
The following options are available:
Option | Description |
|---|---|
Export in XSLX | Exports issue data in Microsoft Excel format (.xlsx). Exports in Excel format preserve data types for values in custom fields and other issue attributes. |
Export in CSV | Exports issue data to a CSV file (.csv). Data exported in CSV format doesn't preserve the data types for the values that are stored in custom fields. |
These options are available from the 
Export issue data button in the toolbar on the Issues list.
Use these options to upload issues to another application or use third-party software to compile custom reports.

Click the
Export issue data icon on the toolbar.Select Export in XLSX to export the issues in Microsoft Excel format.

The maximum number of issues that you can export is determined by the Max Issues to Export setting on the Global Settings page. The default value is 500. If the number of issues that you want to export exceeds the global limit, ask an administrator to increase this value. For more information, see System.
