# Can I export a meeting tracker to CSV or Excel?

> For anyone keeping a table filled from Google Meet and Microsoft Teams meetings in TrackHeros who needs it in a spreadsheet: the two CSV downloads, what each file holds, how they open in Excel and Google Sheets, why some cells start with an apostrophe, whether the file stays in sync, and where to check that export is on your plan.

**In short:** Yes. A TrackHeros tracker, the table that fills itself from your Google Meet and Microsoft Teams meetings, downloads as two CSV files: the table as it stands, and its full history, one line per value with the meeting, the quote and a link to the moment it was said. Both open in Excel and Google Sheets. Export is not on every plan; the pricing page lists which.

| Fact | Detail |
| --- | --- |
| Downloads | The table as it stands, and its full history |
| Format | CSV in UTF-8, for Excel, Google Sheets or any spreadsheet |
| History file | One line per value, with its meeting, quote, time and link |
| Stays in sync | No; each download is a copy of that moment |
| Plans | Not on every plan; see the pricing page |

Yes: a tracker downloads as CSV, and there are two files, because a table that fills itself from meetings holds two things worth keeping. One is the table as it stands today. The other is how it got there. This answer is for anyone who keeps a tracker in TrackHeros, filled from their Google Meet and Microsoft Teams calls, and needs it in a spreadsheet. TrackHeros is an AI meeting notetaker that connects every Google and Microsoft calendar you hold, recognises close to 100 spoken languages on its own, writes the notes in nine of them, and keeps every client's notes in a sealed workspace of its own. The feature itself is on [trackers](/features/trackers/).

## How do I download a tracker as CSV?

From the tracker's page, export the table or export the history. Each file holds that one tracker and nothing else. Export is not on every plan: [the pricing page](/pricing/) lists the plans that include it, and on the others the table and its history stay readable in the app.

## What is in the table file?

The table as it stands: one line per row, with the columns in the tracker's order, followed by when the row last changed and how many times it has changed. Only current values are written, so a value still waiting for review, or a new row nobody has accepted yet, is not in the file.

Each type is written so a spreadsheet can use it:

| Column type | In the CSV                                         |
| ----------- | -------------------------------------------------- |
| Status      | The option's label, such as "In progress"          |
| Money       | The amount and the currency code, as "1200.00 USD" |
| Date        | Year first, as "2026-04-02", which sorts correctly |
| People      | Names separated by commas                          |
| List        | Items separated by semicolons                      |

## What is in the history file?

Every value the tracker has recorded, one line each: the row, the column, the value, the kind of change, whether it was applied, rejected or is still waiting, and where it came from. A value from a meeting carries the meeting's title and date, the words that were said, the time in the meeting, and a link that opens the transcript at that moment. A value somebody typed carries their name instead.

That is the file to send when a client asks why a date moved. A go-live date that went from 3 March to 17 March to 2 April appears as three lines, each with the quote that moved it. [A history of every change, with the quote](/blog/a-history-of-every-change-with-the-quote/) shows how to use it, and [where a tracker value comes from](/answers/where-does-a-tracker-value-come-from/) explains the quotes. The links open TrackHeros, so only someone who can open that meeting there can follow one.

## Will the file open properly in Excel and Google Sheets?

Yes. The file is UTF-8 and marked as such, so Excel shows accented letters and non-Latin scripts as they are rather than guessing an encoding. Google Sheets opens it through File, then Import.

One detail looks odd until you know why. A text cell that begins with =, +, - or @ gets a leading apostrophe, so the spreadsheet shows what somebody said in a meeting instead of running it as a formula. Numbers and money keep their minus sign.

## Does the spreadsheet stay in sync with the tracker?

No. A CSV is a copy of the tracker at the moment you download it, and nothing is sent to Google Sheets or any other tool afterwards. Download it again for the latest table. Once a file is on your computer it is yours: deleting the tracker or the client in TrackHeros does not reach it, as [what happens to trackers when you delete a client](/answers/what-happens-to-trackers-when-you-delete-a-client/) explains.
