A user’s custom ABC Product Analysis report in Shopify began exporting incomplete data in week 41 of October 2025. While product variant SKUs, ABC grades, and product types still populate correctly, product titles and variant titles are now missing from many rows—despite no changes to report settings.
Proposed solutions include:
Clearing browser cache and re-attempting the export
Checking Shopify’s changelog for recent reporting system updates
Reviewing recent product/variant modifications
Contacting Shopify Support with sample export files
Most likely cause: Archived or deleted products. When products are archived, their variants can still appear in historical reports but lose the connection to parent product titles, resulting in blank cells. This can be verified by searching affected SKUs in the “Archived” products list.
Workaround: Export both the broken ABC report and a complete product list (including SKUs and titles), then use VLOOKUP in Excel/Google Sheets to match SKUs and fill missing titles.
The issue remains unresolved, with the root cause—system bug versus archived products—still unclear.

I had a custom ABC Product Analysis report saved in my Shopify Analysis, with the following columns: product title; product variant title; product variant SKU; product variant ABC grade; product type; ending inventory units; ending inventory retail value. I would export this in CSV weekly.
Suddenly , during week 41 of 2025 (October), it’s no longer exporting the same: Not every row has a product title listed; not every row has a variant title. However, each product variant sku, product variant ABC grade, and product type has a value.
It’s unclear if this is a system glitch since none of the reporting settings were altered.
Thanks for bringing up this issue! It sounds like you might be running into a bug or recent update to Shopify’s reporting system—especially since nothing in your report settings changed and this started happening only recently.
Here are a few things you can try:
Clear your browser cache and attempt the export again, in case it’s a temporary glitch.
Check Shopify’s changelog or announcements for any updates regarding export templates or analysis reports.
If you’ve recently updated or modified any products or variants, note that these changes might affect how data is exported.
If the issue persists, I recommend reaching out directly to Shopify Support with details and maybe a sample export file—they may already be tracking this issue or can escalate it for a fix.
You’re not alone—report export bugs crop up now and then! Feel free to share here if you find a workaround or when you get an update, and I’m happy to help brainstorm or troubleshoot further if needed.
This issue with missing titles in your report is almost always caused by archived or deleted products. When a product is archived, its variants can still appear in historical reports but lose their connection to the parent product’s title, leaving those cells blank in the CSV export. You can verify this by searching in your Shopify admin for a SKU from one of the broken rows; you will likely find it in your “Archived” products list.
While this may be a temporary Shopify glitch, you can get the data you need right now. Export your broken report and, separately, export a complete list of all your products (making sure it includes SKUs and titles).
In a spreadsheet program like Excel or Google Sheets, you can then use a VLOOKUP function to match the SKUs and automatically fill in the missing product titles in your ABC analysis report.
