A tool for exporting all to-do items to a data file, such as CSV or JSON

jale4it  This is indeed one of those things that I wished ToDo had. I needed exportability as we have hundreds of tasks and I move them to archive folders each week so we dont muck up our workflow.  I ended up using PowerAutomate in order to export the list.  If you have PowerAutomate you can go through each list and write it to an online Excel file. 

The other way to do it.

Move all the tasks to "export" to a new export to do list.

For this list go to print list or Email List. Your goal is to get the list on your clipboard.

Once you do you can run this simple script on new Excel worksheet

Sub ParseToDoClipboard()

  Dim c As Range, ws As Worksheet, rw As Long
  Dim s As String, x As Long
  Set ws = ActiveSheet
  
  Range("a1").Select
  ws.PasteSpecial "text"
  rw = 1
  x = 0
  For Each c In Selection
    x = x + 1
    'check for header
    If x = 1 Then
      ws.Range("J" & rw).Value = c.Value
      rw = rw + 1
    End If
    s = c.Value
    If Left(s, 1) = "?" Then
      s = Replace(s, "?", "")
      ws.Range("J" & rw).Value = Mid(s, 2)
      rw = rw + 1
    End If
  Next c
  
  
End Sub

They are both not the most elegant suggestions but it's something. Let me know if you have any questions.
