Generate reports from Trello boards

To generate reports from Trello boards, you can use one of the following methods depending on your needs and technical comfort:

1. Built-in Trello Export (Manual CSV Export)

Steps:

1. Open the Trello board.

2. Click the three dots (•••) at the top right of the board > More.

3. Choose Print and Export.

4. Click Export as CSV (this is a premium/Business Class feature).

What it includes:

• Card titles, descriptions, labels, due dates, checklists, members, and list names.

2. Use Trello Power-Ups (No-Code Tools)

a. Trello Reports by Screenful

• Adds dashboards and reporting features directly inside Trello.

• Shows charts on tasks completed, lead/cycle time, time spent on each list, etc.

• Allows exporting to Excel or PDF.

b. Planyway or Time in List

• Useful for time tracking and performance reporting.

3. Google Sheets + Trello API (Automated Reporting)

Using Google Apps Script and the Trello API, you can create an automated report in Google Sheets.

Steps:

1. Create a Trello API key and token from:
   https://trello.com/app-key

2. In Google Sheets, open Extensions > Apps Script and paste a script like:

javascript
CopyEdit
function importTrelloBoard() {
  const key = 'YOUR_TRELLO_KEY';
  const token = 'YOUR_TRELLO_TOKEN';
  const boardId = 'YOUR_BOARD_ID';
  const url = `https://api.trello.com/1/boards/${boardId}/cards?key=${key}&token=${token}`;
  
  const response = UrlFetchApp.fetch(url);
  const cards = JSON.parse(response.getContentText());

  const sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getActiveSheet();
  sheet.clearContents();
  sheet.appendRow(['Card Name', 'List Name', 'Due Date', 'Labels', 'Members']);

  cards.forEach(function(card) {
    const labelNames = card.labels.map(l => l.name).join(', ');
    const memberIds = card.idMembers.join(', ');
    sheet.appendRow([card.name, card.idList, card.due || '', labelNames, memberIds]);
  });
}

3. Run the script to fetch the report.

4. Third-party Tools (More Advanced Reporting)

• Bridge24: Dynamic reporting, filtering, and exporting for Trello.

• Unito: Sync Trello with tools like Google Sheets or Airtable.

• Zapier/Make (Integromat): Create workflows that automatically push Trello data into Google Sheets, Slack, or email summaries.

5. JSON Export (For Developers)

Trello allows exporting full board data in JSON format:

1. Open your board.

2. Add .json at the end of the board URL:
   https://trello.com/b/BOARD_ID.json

3. Save or parse this data using a script for advanced reporting.
