Common Outlook Contacts CSV Import Errors

Issues you might encounter when importing Google Contacts CSV Export data to Outlook Contacts CSV - and how we solve them

Missing Contact Name

Contact has no Given Name or Family Name

Given Name: (empty), Family Name: (empty)
Given Name: John, Family Name: Doe

Add at least a Given Name or Family Name to each contact

Contacts without names are skipped

Unknown Phone Type

Phone 1 - Type: Custom Label
Phone 1 - Type: Mobile

Use standard types: Mobile, Home, Work

Why You Cannot Import Google CSV Directly to Outlook

Different Column Standards

Google uses numbered multi-value columns (Phone 1 - Type, Phone 1 - Value) while Outlook uses flat named columns (Mobile Phone, Home Phone). Importing Google CSV directly creates missing or mismatched data in Outlook.

What This Tool Does

Upload your Google Contacts CSV. The tool remaps every field to Outlook format including phone type routing, address restructuring, birthday reformatting, and group to category conversion. Download and import directly to Outlook.

How People Use Google → Outlook

Our company switched from Google Workspace to Microsoft 365 and I was responsible for migrating everyone's contacts. Google exports phone numbers as 'Phone 1 - Type' and 'Phone 1 - Value' but Outlook needs 'Mobile Phone' and 'Home Phone' as separate columns. The tool routed every phone type to the right Outlook field — no manual sorting needed.

Rebecca L.
Office Administrator · Google Workspace to Outlook 365, 4,200 contacts

I migrate small businesses from Gmail to Outlook regularly. The birthday format alone trips up every manual attempt — Google stores dates as 2024-03-15 but Outlook wants 3/15/2024. Multiply that by thousands of contacts and you're looking at hours of reformatting. The converter handles dates, addresses, and phone types in one pass.

Thomas F.
IT Consultant · 12 client migrations, 30,000+ contacts total

I organized all my Google contacts into groups — Buyers, Sellers, Past Clients, Vendors. When I exported to CSV and imported into Outlook, the groups disappeared completely. This tool converted my Google groups into Outlook Categories so my entire contact organization survived the switch.
