Is it possible to dynamically export data from JIRA into Excel?

Question

I'd like to set up a data import source in Excel through which I can dynamically pull data from Jira. I know this used to be possible by using an Excel web query and the XML link from the Jira filter I wanted to use. I've been unable to determine if this is still possible. If it isn't, is there another way to achieve this?

Answer 1

Whilst a little old I thought I note here how I did using JIRA 7.2.2 without the need for a 3rd party plugin

1. Use the Issue Navigator to create a filter/view of the JIRAs you want available to Excel
2. Save the filter
3. Click on Export drop-down
4. Right click on CSV (all fields or current fields) or XML
5. Select Copy Link Address (I am using Chrome other browsers will have a similar function)
6. Open Excel (I'm using 2016 version)
7. Select Data tab > New Query > From Other Sources > From Web
8. Paste in URL
9. Click OK and follow various steps
10. You're done :)
