When exporting a project as a .CSV file, I was wondering if theres any way to control how the data is formatted inside of Excel. Specifically what data from the project is put in what column or row? Are there anyways to change your project formatting to make the export smoother or more organized inside of excel? ---

@anon75867119, I’m not sure there’s any control you can exert in Asana’s export, but you might want to consider [Asana2Go](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/asana2go/meaajmlecpkbjcofehfpjngpnpfpjlkd) (disclaimer: I’m the creator) which is free to most and offers flexible CSV output: > [@Export tasks into excel sheet?](https://forum.asana.com/t/export-tasks-into-excel-sheet/50497/3): > > @Frankie_Leonard, If you need more flexible export to CSV (for Excel), you can use [Asana2Go](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/asana2go/meaajmlecpkbjcofehfpjngpnpfpjlkd) from any List view (My Tasks, Project, Search Results). See the CSV - Detailed format as an example, but you can customize your own CSV output easily. See: for more on Asana2Go. Disclaimer: I’m the creator. Thanks, Larry Larry ---

Thanks, Larry Thanks for sharing Larry, the Chome ext works great. By chance are you continuing to develop and adding that your app exports Comments as well? Best, Brent ---

Thanks for the nice comment, @Brent_Westhoven, and for buying me a coffee at [Larry Berger is creator of the Asana2Go app and an Asana Certified Pro consultant](https://www.buymeacoffee.com/Asana2Go)! While I’m continuing to develop [Asana2Go](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/asana2go/meaajmlecpkbjcofehfpjngpnpfpjlkd), I’m afraid I don’t have any immediate plan to add export of Comments, I’m very sorry to say. Thanks again, Larry ---
