Overview

All users (except for collaborators) can import tasks, folders, and projects from XLS files into Wrike.

Important

  • Before importing, please make sure that there aren’t any formulas in your Excel file.

  • If you format text in the description cells of your XLS document, the format won't be saved when you import the XLS document to Wrike.

  • Importing only creates new items in Wrike; you can't edit the existing data via XLS import.

  • There's a limit of 5,000 tasks per import. If more tasks need to be imported, then the file can be split into separate smaller files and multiple imports can be performed.

  • You can import blueprints into Wrike.

  • If you're on Business or Enterprise plans in some cases you might not see the option to import a folder, project, or space's content to Excel. That means that you have a limited access to this location (Limited or Read Only access role). Admins on Enterprise accounts can add or revoke this right from Settings.
