This tutorial explains how to export your Trello boards to Excel.
Trello has the feature to print any board (public or private) or copy the JSON file of a particular board. However, when you want to keep the offline editable backup of your Trello boards, JSON or print file is not a good solution at all. Keeping that in mind, I have covered a Chrome extension in this tutorial, Export for Trello, that lets you export any of your Trello boards as XLSX file that you can open and edit in MS Excel.
The output file contains all the details of the cards of your Trello board, such as: Lists, Cards available under each individual list, card labels, description, card number, card URL, etc. Each individual item is stored separately in different columns. It can’t fetch attachments available in your board, but rest of the information related to your board is exported successfully.
Above, you can see my Trello board converted to XLXS file using this handy Chrome extension.
And in the screenshot below, you can see the Trello board which was exported by me.
