Yes, you can import contacts from Excel to Outlook. Here are the steps:
Method 1: Using Outlook's Import/Export feature
- Open Outlook and go to the "Contacts" folder.
- Click on "File" > "Open & Export" > "Import/Export".
- Select "Import from another program or file" and then "Comma Separated Values (Windows)".
- Click "Next" and then "Browse" to select the Excel file (.csv) that contains your contacts.
- Choose the delimiter (e.g., comma) and the character set (e.g., Unicode).
- Click "Finish" to start the import process.
Method 2: Using Excel's "Export to Outlook" feature
- Open Excel and select the contacts you want to export.
- Go to "Data" > "From Text" > "Text Files" and select "CSV (Comma delimited)" as the file type.
- Save the file with a.csv extension.
- Open Outlook and go to the "Contacts" folder.
- Click on "File" > "Open & Export" > "Import/Export".
- Select "Import from another program or file" and then "Comma Separated Values (Windows)".
- Click "Next" and then "Browse" to select the exported Excel file (.csv).
- Choose the delimiter (e.g., comma) and the character set (e.g., Unicode).

Tips:
- Make sure the Excel file is in the correct format (e.g., CSV) and that the columns are correctly labeled (e.g., "First Name", "Last Name", "Email").
- You can also use third-party add-ins, such as Excel- Outlook Contact Importer, to simplify the process.
- If you have a large number of contacts, you may want to consider using a CSV file with a header row to help Outlook import the data correctly.
