How to: Find a Changeset in Visual Studio 2010:
In Source Control Explorer, on the File menu, point to Source Control, and then click Find Changesets.

For some reason newer versions of the article are in a different location. Here are links to newer versions of the article:
How to: Find a Changeset in Visual Studio 2012
How to: Find a Changeset in Visual Studio 2013

Visual Studio 2013 menu location

Find Changesets

    Best answer so far. Works for VS2012 as well. Simple solution and doesn't require installing anything extra. – Brk Aug 05 '13 at 07:29

    Works for VS2013 too, though there's an extra nested menu: File > Source Control > Find > Find Changeset ... – dumbledad Jan 11 '14 at 12:31

    Works for 2015 as well. Just my 2 cents :) – Johny Feb 18 '16 at 15:38
  • This should _definately_ be the answer. While Attrice's Team Foundation Sidekicks provides many features, the quickest and easiest answer is to search the Change Sets in TFS itself. – XyberICE Aug 01 '17 at 20:55
  • Is there any option to export the data to excel? – Himalaya Garg Mar 27 '20 at 08:52

Yes. The easy way: download and install Team Foundation Sidekicks (it's free).

From the attrice website:

  • It's good because you can also see items for users that are not active anymore! – Nemanja Vujacic Aug 20 '13 at 12:39

    A comment on how to find users using this tool would be useful, without that the user would have to spend some time researching, which would make Rolf's answer a much faster solution. – developer747 Feb 11 '14 at 21:32
  • @developer747 According to their website, the screen looks like http://www.attrice.info/images/history_sk_screen.gif and it's easy to use as per the description on http://www.attrice.info/cm/tfs/index.htm It takes almost same amount of words to show solution when you know, as to point the problem. – SarjanWebDev May 29 '15 at 05:23
  • @EdPlunkett - Probably, you've selected wrong version of Sidekicks (it MUST correspond to version of Visual Studio installed on your machine) – Egor Skriptunoff Jan 23 '17 at 12:17
  • @EgorSkriptunoff Thanks, I'll try that. Remind me to tell you about a funny coincidence, sometime... – 15ee8f99-57ff-4f92-890c-b56153 Jan 23 '17 at 15:01

  1. Open "Team Explorer" (Found in "View"-menu)
  2. Find the team-project and expand "Team Members"
  3. Right-click the team member and select "Show Checkin History".

But it is very strange that one cannot do this filtering directly, when viewing the entire history of a team-project.

Yet another alternative is to use the "Link to"-search within TFS WorkItem:

  1. Open a TFS Workitem
  2. Choose the "All Links"-tab
  3. Press the "Link To"-button
  4. In the new dialog set "Link Type" to "Changeset" and press "Browse..."-button.
  5. Now you have a TFS search dialog, where one can specify username and other filtering

You could also do this by logging in to TFS and navigating to Code>Changesets

Here is an explanation on how to do this using TFS Sidekicks. A comment in the top voted answer asked for details, but I am unable to comment on posts so I added it as an answer.

Install TFS Sidekicks Connect to your TFS server Choose Tools | History Sidekick Select User under User name pull down. Select the branch or folder that you are interested in.

You will then see a list of changesets from that one user in the selected branch or folder.
