How to Export Body Measurements to CSV
Export a body measurement history to CSV, check the fields, and keep a portable copy for spreadsheets or personal records.
Short answer
Use the app export option to create a CSV file, save or share it through the system sheet, then open a copy in your spreadsheet tool. Check dates, units, decimal separators, and column names before sorting or charting the data.
The longer answer
CSV is a plain-text table format that many spreadsheet and data tools can open. It is useful for keeping a personal backup or doing your own analysis. The format does not preserve app styling, chart settings, or every piece of interface context, so inspect the exported columns before relying on a downstream calculation.
Create and store the export
Start the export inside the measurement app and choose a destination from the system share sheet. Save an untouched copy before editing.
Use a filename that includes the export date. That makes it easier to distinguish snapshots if you create another file later.
Check the spreadsheet import
Confirm that dates appear in the expected order and numeric values are not treated as text. Regional decimal and date formats can affect automatic import.
Keep the units attached to the measurement name or documented elsewhere. A bare number is easy to misread months later.
Treat the file as personal data
Body measurements are sensitive personal information. Store the file somewhere appropriate for your privacy needs and review recipients before sharing it.
Deleting an exported file does not delete the entries in the app, and editing the CSV does not change the app history.

Metr can export measurement entries to CSV so you can keep a portable copy or work with the values elsewhere.

FAQ
Questions about this topic
Can Excel or Google Sheets open CSV?
Yes. Both can import CSV files, though you should check date, unit, and decimal formatting.
Will editing the CSV update Metr?
No. The export is a separate copy and is not a two-way sync.
Does CSV include the app charts?
No. CSV contains tabular data, not the app’s visual chart configuration.
