Thank you for the feedback! We love that our customers are interested in utilizing Planner in this way.

As a first step, we have added exporting to Excel to our roadmap and have changed the title of this thread to focus the conversation on this feature. Our team would love to hear more about the specific scenarios you would like to use this for so that we can build the best possible experience around this!

Thanks!

Would be great to be able to import tasks, particularly with a pre-populated checklist that is configurable.

Recommend the ability to import Excel and mpp into Planner. And conversely, export from Planner into Excel or mpp. That would be a boon to enterprise level organizations. Thank you

It is logical, if I can export I should also import. A project has many tasks defined from the beginning, entering one by one is not friendly

Importing from Excel seems a logical solution since both products are part of the office 365 suite. Many people used to use excel to assist in planning so it makes sense they would have lists already set up, importing these would reduce time to set up planner significantly

Please add a function to import a plan from Excel. This way one can build a planning set much quicker.

Dear admin, is it possible to tweak a Planner excel export and have time stamp in addition to the date. Basically, can you change the date to the date and time format. This is very useful when using to create audit evidence and allows to track the completion and creation time. There is no option to have versioning in the Planner yet, as far as I know.
