Copy Emails from Excel to Outlook

Step 1: Prepare Your Excel File

Ensure your contact data is correctly formatted in Excel. Merge multiple files, remove duplicates, and update fields as needed. Utilize Excel's formulas and sorting options to process your data effectively. Convert your Excel file to a .csv format, as Outlook can only import contacts from .csv files. Remember to combine contacts and adjust fields to match Outlook's requirements.

Step 2: Import Contacts to Outlook

Open Outlook and use the wizard specifically designed for importing contacts. This step involves mapping Excel headers to corresponding Outlook fields. Only correctly formatted contact data can be imported from Excel to Outlook. If your locale uses semicolons as list separators, replace them with commas before importing, as Outlook does not support semicolons as field separators.

Step 3: Resolve Common Issues

If Excel returns all fields on one line, it might be due to incorrect list separator settings. Adjust the list separators to commas if necessary. Be aware that Microsoft Outlook cannot import workbooks with multiple sheets, so ensure your contacts are consolidated into a single sheet before converting to .csv format.
