Last week, Google finally launched Google Calendar. I've long been a user of Yahoo! Calendar and long hated thick-client calendar applications like Outlook. Google Calendar is a large step forward in online calendars. Much easier to use. Very responsive. Support for Atom feeds. Just one problem. How do I export the calendar data from my Yahoo! and import that into Google? I've built up a large set of over the years that I've been using Yahoo! It would take several hours to re-input the data into Google.

Update: Microsoft intends to keep up with the Jones.

Oops! Didn't work.
    Failed to import events:
    Failed to upload ical/csv file

I divided up the data into smaller files, which didn't work either. But what I noticed is that only a small set of the data is actually contained in the CSV file. My biggest concern is recurring events, which doesn't seem to be accounted for. I'll likely have to re-input the data manually, or did doesn't anybody know anything obvious that I've missed.

I'm playing with Google Calendar and its import/export features.

It seems it has big problems importing CSV files.

I needed to add a macro to export my calendar from Microsoft Outlook into a iCalendar format.

I've never used Yahoo! Calendar before but if you can export data into a iCalendar file it's better rather than CSV.

I also noticed Google Calendar is unable to load public iCalendar calendars but you must import them... probably Google Calendar's team needs to fix some bugs. ;)

I exported my Yahoo calendar to MS Outlook.  I then exported the Outlook calendar to a folder I made in my documents.  I made it a csv file.  Then I logged on to my Google calendar and imported the files to the Google calendar.  I had 2 years worth of info that transferred over with no problem.

Have you tried 30boxes? It's got a similar feature set to Google Calendar and a much cleaner UI, IMO.

-d.w.
Thanks Dave, I'll check it out.

I just made google my homepage and found the calendar and I'ts amazing for me. I'm fairly new at everything, so don't worry about explaining anything for dummies. I need to learn it all.

How do I migrate events from Google Calendar to Microsoft Outlook Calendar?
Hi I'm nwe
How do I create events to be viewed in both Google and Yahoo. I have friends you use Yahoo and need them to see it in their own calendar?]


It seems Google calendar prefers the export option in Outlook to be "comma delimited (DOS)" instead of (Windows).

Google Calendar is great! It has the ability to send text reminders, emails, and pop-ups (if you have Chrome). It's really a great resource for someone who constantly has internet up.
