# Export issues, PI objectives, milestones and capacity to Excel

### Export from Ativo

To export Program Increment data from Ativo, click on the export button in the top navigation bar.

![](/files/2kcbha574x5zSAxxdTO2)

The data will be downloaded in CSV (Comma Separated Value) format.

### Open in Excel

To open the exported data in Excel, click on **Data > From Text/CSV**

![](/files/HJbcK5rcuLi3FIRZaXUo)

Then select the downloaded file and click on **Load**

![](/files/ch9mESYEeDY4zEJsbEzp)

The data is now loaded in Excel:

![](/files/aYmgx0olRN6sIzBlfPze)

### Why not open directly?

The browser might suggest you to open the file directly.

![](/files/qrs94qxucEMS15trELfL)

This will open the file in Excel directly without proper parsing of the CSV data.
