Use Excel as a data repository for your Miro data. Work with separate worksheets for CSV file import or build a master worksheet by appending many CSV files with a shared format. You can, for example, build a master worksheet for all tasks in your project for an extended period of time, where you will always be able to find a particular task and go back to the original Miro board item by following the backlink.
The precise steps vary in different versions of Excel, so below we list the general steps that should be followed.
Open Excel and create a new workbook.
Click on the "Data" tab in the ribbon.
Choose Get Data and then select Text/CSV.
Select a previously saved CSV file from the results table.
In the "Text Import Wizard", review the data settings and then click Transform Data
Find Home ribbon that opens, select Use first row as headers
Click on the Close & Load button to close the window to view the imported data in your worksheet.
