JXL - Sheets Hierarchy Structure Sum-up Time in status Table

JXL answers the improbable question of "what if Jira and Excel had a baby". Well, as it turns out just like crossing an Olympic athlete with a Hollywood actor, it's as good looking as it is functional. In my experience every company has a Pro[ject|duct] manager or three hiding a spreadsheet somewhere in a dark corner of their laptop, and then manually updating Jira as a secondary target. JXL solves this madness, and at the same time provides the mass-edit interface that's so sorely missing, and that you desperately need when your job is not "deal with one ticket" but "deal with all the tickets". I'd advise pairing this with JQL Search Extensions which (I think?) is by the same company, as this allows you to do recursive ticket queries - i.e. take any ticket and find its children, and their children and on on down the tree. One view to rule them all. Atlassian should just buy this and make it the default interface, it's so much better. I'd rate it 10 stars if they'd let me. Indispensable.

  Hi Duncan,

  Thank you so much for this fantastic review! Your description of JXL as the perfect hybrid of Excel and Jira is spot on. We know all too well the "dark corner spreadsheet" struggle, and it is great to hear that the app is helping you eliminate that double work by bringing a high-performance, mass-edit interface directly into your Jira environment.

  It is also wonderful to see you mention JQL Search Extensions! You are correct that we are part of the same Appfire family. Using those recursive queries alongside JXL’s sheet interface is a brilliant way to gain that "one view to rule them all" over complex hierarchies. We really appreciate you sharing how these tools work together to make managing large volumes of tickets so much more intuitive.

  If you ever have more ideas on how we can further improve your workflow, feel free to connect with us at our support portal.

  Cheers,

Incredible Productivity Booster! A Must-Have for Jira Power Users. JXL has completely transformed how I work in Jira. The spreadsheet-style interface is fast, intuitive, and incredibly powerful. Being able to edit issues inline, bulk update fields, and view hierarchy and roll-ups in real-time has saved me countless hours.

LOVE IT. An absolute essential. We would be using Jira anymore if JXL did'nt exist! It's the only tool which gives us the ability to have a proper overview of all the tasks in our projects. It also allows us to do real project management along with multi-projects fonctionnal coordination.
