Hi Chris why don't you use iPlanner reporting for Excel? This is a Planner add-in for Excel. You can

Get tasks from one or more Plans. This means also work across Plans

Push updates back from Excel to the Planner

Create a new Plan including buckets and Tasks in Excel and create all in the Online Planner

Create a new Plan in Excel based on a copy of an existing Plan

I think this is exactly the tool you are looking for. https://appsource.microsoft.com/da-dk/product/office/WA104380686?tab=Overview

Contact me for a demo.

Hi Chris Do you know why? I mean the Office 365 Add-in is based on the new Modern Office 365 model. NOT a COM add-in. Nothing is installed and it is based on the security model of Office 365. If you are interested I can send you an email with a document that describe the security model and why your IT should not be worried at all. Actually modern Office 365 add-ins gives no issues and no maintenance for IT.
