How People Use ICS → CSV
We needed to migrate scheduling data from Apple Calendar to a project management tool that only accepts CSV. I converted the ICS exports to CSV and the all-day event detection correctly handled our multi-day milestones without off-by-one date errors.
Each semester I convert the academic calendar ICS file to Excel to build room assignment spreadsheets. The ICS to CSV converter parsed all the VEVENT entries and split the datetime values into separate date and time columns, saving me from manual reformatting.
