Hi all, I am trying to import the Minnesota Wild schedule to Entourage. I downloaded the .csv, and went to import and did all the stuff I was supposed to. When I do all that, I end up seeing a window that looks like this:

I know how to get around that, but I really don't want to map all 84 games. Is there any way to get around having to do all this work?

Hi all, I am trying to import the Minnesota Wild schedule to
Entourage. I downloaded the .csv, and went to import and did all the

that looks like this:

Entourage cannot import calendar events from .csv files. It will import
..csv files as *contacts*. Note the title of the window in the image you
posted says "Import Contacts" and not "Import Events".

Take your .csv file and run it through this handy website:

Start with Step 2 and be sure to look through the Advanced Options. It
will convert your .csv file into .ics format.

Take the .ics file that you download and drop it onto the Entourage icon
in your Dock. Be patient while Entourage imports the file. This may take
several seconds and Entourage will be unresponsive. Afterward, check
your default calendar for the new events.

Hope this helps!
