Managing items and subitems in monday.com can become overwhelming — especially when you need to bulk edit monday.com boards with hundreds of tasks, owners, and dependencies.
That’s where PivotXL: Sync with Excel steps in — the smarter way to edit everything at once, directly from Excel.

When you’re dealing with hundreds of items and subitems across multiple groups or boards, even a small update — such as changing due dates, cost allocations, or task owners — can take hours.

The Pain: Bulk Editing in monday.com Is Slow and Repetitive

While monday.com’s subitems add structure and flexibility, they can become difficult to manage at scale.
Teams often face challenges such as:

  • Opening each item manually to access and edit subitems.
  • Updating dependencies or cost categories one by one.
  • Losing parent-child relationships when exporting data for updates.
  • Struggling to get a unified view of all nested tasks.

This manual process slows down teams and increases data mismatches — especially for engineering, manufacturing, and finance users managing complex boards.

The Solution: PivotXL — Flatten, Edit, and Sync Instantly

PivotXL: Sync with Excel makes it easy to bulk edit monday.com data by flattening your entire board — including items and subitems — into a clear Excel layout.
You can view, edit, and update everything side by side, then sync changes back instantly.

With PivotXL, your monday.com data appears in Excel as:

  • Items (main tasks)
  • Subitems (nested tasks)
  • Columns (owners, statuses, budgets, dependencies, etc.)

You can apply formulas, autofill values, copy-paste in bulk — and push updates back with a single click.

No more manual copy-pasting or broken relationships. Just seamless, real-time bulk editing for monday.com users.
