Use this interactive demo to learn how to export bug issues from Jira into an Excel CSV file.

Quick summary

You can export bugs from Jira to Excel by filtering issues by Bug type and using the built-in Export Excel CSV option. This step-by-step process lets teams quickly extract bug data from any Jira project into a spreadsheet for offline analysis or reporting.

Steps

Go to Filters at the top of your Jira project and select View all issues.
Use the Project filter to narrow issues down to the relevant project.
Click on Type and change the issue type to Bugs to filter only bug-type issues.
Locate the Export issues button on the top right of the page.
Select Export Excel CSV (all fields) to download the file.
Review the List View of your filtered bug issues before confirming the export.
Open your downloaded Excel file and edit or analyze the bug data as required.

📌 Why this matters

Exporting bugs from Jira to Excel gives development and QA teams a flexible, shareable view of their issue backlog outside the Jira interface. Excel's filtering, sorting, and charting capabilities make it easier to analyze bug trends, prioritize fixes, and report progress to stakeholders who may not have Jira access. This workflow is essential for teams that need to combine Jira bug data with other project metrics or share reports in a universally accessible format. Mastering the Jira CSV export process reduces manual data entry and ensures bug tracking data stays accurate across tools.
