| - | ====== Importing Events from a CSV file into your Calendar Application ====== | ||
| - | |||
| - | With this tutorial, you will learn how to import comma separated value (CSV) files into your calendar application. | ||
| - | |||
| - | ==Outlook== | ||
| - | - Download the CSV file you wish to import into Outlook and note where it is downloaded to. | ||
| - | - Open **Outlook** if it is not already opened, and select the **Calendar** view within Outlook. | ||
| - | - **This step is optional:** If you wish to create a separate calendar for the events that will be imported, you can do so now: | ||
| - | - In the navigation pane on the left side of the Outlook window, right click on the list of calendars and select **New Calendar**. | ||
| - | - Name the calendar and save it where you wish (the folder **Calendar** is the default choice selected). | ||
| - | - Select the **File** tab at the top of the Outlook window. | ||
| - | - Select **Open & Export**. | ||
| - | - Select **Import/ | ||
| - | - Select **Import from another program or file** within the wizard and select **Next**. | ||
| - | - Select **Comma Separated Values** and select **Next**. | ||
| - | - Navigate to the CSV file you wish to import and select it. Then, choose what you wish to do with duplicate items and select **Next**. There are three options: | ||
| - | - **Replace duplicates with items imported**: Existing data will be overwritten with the information in the file being imported. | ||
| - | - **Allow duplicates to be created**: Existing data will not be overwritten, | ||
| - | - **Do not import duplicate items**: Existing data will be kept, and the duplicate information in the file will not be copied to the current Outlook folder. | ||
| - | - Select the calendar you wish to use as the destination folder and select **Next**. | ||
| - | - The wizard will now show the actions to be performed. Select **Finish** and the events within the CSV file will be added to your chosen calendar. | ||
| - | |||
| - | ==Google Calendar== | ||
| - | - Open Google Calendar. | ||
| - | - **This step is optional: | ||
| - | - Click on the downward arrow to the right of **My Calendars** on the left side of the page. | ||
| - | - **Select Create new calendar**. | ||
| - | - Fill out the information and click **Create Calendar**. | ||
| - | - At the main calendar page, select the downward arrow to the right of **Other Calendars** on the left side of the page. | ||
| - | - Select **Import Calendar**. | ||
| - | - In the pop-up, select **Choose File** and select the CSV file containing the events you wish to import. | ||
| - | - Select the calendar you wish to contain the imported events and select **Import**. | ||
| - | - Your selected calendar will now contain the event data from within the CSV file. | ||
