Thread: Problems Importing Excel to Outlook

Hello,

I have exported my current outlook contacts (appox 400) to excel and have manually added to the sheet and copied and pasted in, about an extra 1000 contacts.

I have changed the ‘Categories’ column to a new name and they are all now listed as 2, different and new categories. When I come to import the sheet back it makes the new categories, and then adds about 20% of the contacts on the excel sheet to each of the new categories. It won’t add them all.

Any ideas or solutions would be appreciated.

Good Egg

Just for the record, this is an Outlook issue, not an Excel issue, but I have done this stuff many times and might be able to help. That would require attaching both the before and after versions of your workbook but you may not want to post your contacts in a public place.
