Excel and CSV import: spreadsheet to board
Upload the sheet, map the columns, done — with the limits stated openly and no pretence that attachments and comments come along. On every plan.
The fastest route from another tool into Zuuna runs through the spreadsheet. Every common project tool exports to CSV; Zuuna reads CSV and Excel and turns them into a working board.
How it goes
Upload the file, confirm the header row, map the columns — title, status, priority, due date, assignee or a custom field. The values in the status column become the board's columns. You see a preview before anything is created, and the delimiter is detected automatically, so a German Excel export full of semicolons works unchanged.
The limits, stated openly
15 MB per file · 50 columns · 10,000 rows · 30 status columns. Above that you split the file — inconvenient, but more honest than an import that dies at row 12,000 without explanation.
What does NOT come along
Attachments, comment threads and history. A CSV does not contain them, so no importer can conjure them up. If you need them, export them separately or keep the old system as an archive. Jira and Trello no longer need this route: Jira can be connected with an API token, and Trello read from its JSON export — both with the field mapping already filled in, and both bring comments and checklists with them. For Monday and everything else, the spreadsheet is still the way.
And back out again
The same in reverse: any board exports to Excel or CSV whenever you want. The way in is also the way out, and both are on every plan, including the free one.
When the spreadsheet was the tool
Plenty of teams run projects in Excel for years. What comes after it, and what to watch for when moving, is covered in Excel alternatives for project management.
FAQ
Which plan do I need to import?
The free one. Import and export are on every plan — they are the reason switching is reasonable to ask of anyone in the first place.
Does a German Excel export with semicolons work?
Yes. The delimiter is detected automatically; you do not have to reshape the file first.
What happens to my attachments?
They do not come along — a spreadsheet holds no files. Export them separately from the old system, or keep it as an archive.
Can I undo an import?
The clean route is to import onto a new board and discard it if the mapping is wrong. That way nothing half-finished lands on a board people are already working on.
