Google horror - importing Contacts using CSV format
What a terrible case of appalling documentation - Google's help in regard to importing contacts into Google using a CSV file is really absolutely appalling. I followed the instructions and found it did not import the data at all as you would expect it.
Eventually I found a blog which contained the information that enabled the truly appalling nature of Google's documentation to become apparent.
This is what you have to do
1 create a csv with a header line something like this
Name, E-mail, Section 1 - Description, Section 1 - Title, Section 1 - Company, Section 1 - Address, etc
The lines below have to be:
myname,myemail, Work, Mr, my org etc
of the emails are not work change work to personal, but this needs to be in every line or you are in trouble.
How can google have such truly awful documentation?
