Is it possible to export the metadata of all my pictures to a spreadsheet?

Not to a spread sheet. But you could print the thumbnails with the metadata below them as a PDF file with the metadata below the thumbnails. This can be done by printing the photos with the spreadsheet layout. You can set the number of columns and specify the metadata you want to show.


But to create a spreadsheet, you have to write an AppleScript to read the metadata and write them to a file, one line for each photo, separated by a tab or similar, like I wrote here for Aperture: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/7792859?answerId=31127814022#31127814022. Then import the tab separated text into your spreadsheet application.
