How to export an Asana project to CSV

Asana can save all the tasks in a project as a CSV file. Our printer turns it into cards for a wall board or a clean task list.

Before you start

• You need: a computer and access to the project.
• Time: about 1 minute (big projects can take longer; see below).
• The export follows what you see. If completed tasks are hidden in the project, they’re left out of the file.

Step by step

1. Open the project in Asana.
2. Open the project menu. Click the small ▾ arrow next to the project name at the top.
   You’ll see: a menu with options such as Edit project details, Duplicate and Export/Print.
3. Choose Export/Print › CSV (on some accounts just Export › CSV).
   You’ll see: a .csv file download, named after the project, in your Downloads folder.

Check that it worked

• There’s a .csv file in Downloads. If you open it, you’ll see columns like Task ID, Name, Section/Column, Assignee, Due Date, Tags and Notes.

What might confuse you

• “Nothing downloaded.” For large projects Asana emails you a link instead. Check your inbox (and spam) for a message from Asana.
• “Completed tasks are missing (or I don’t want them).” Change the project view to show or hide completed tasks, then export again.
• “Subtasks appear as separate rows.” That’s normal. The printer shows them with their parent task, and you can hide them with Subtasks.
• “Comments aren’t in the file.” Asana’s CSV export doesn’t include comments.
• “I want My Tasks, not a project.” Open My Tasks and use the same ▾ menu next to the title.

Next: print it

Drop the file on Print Asana tasks. Choose Cards or List (grouped by section) and print. Nothing is uploaded.
