Upload Contacts to Sharepoint Online
I think a SharePoint list would be fine. I've tried to explore with the SharePoint contacts app but had no success. I am just looking for ways to store contacts in SharePoint that came from Outlook. I'm not opposed to any solution.
On the top of my head, you could use Microsoft Access or PowerShell PnP to do this, but using Access is probably the most user-friendly way to do it.
1) Convert your CSV file to an Access database
* Open Access
* New (blank) database
* New Data Source (in the ribbon)
* Choose From File >> Text File
* Browse to your CSV file
* Select your preferences for the rest...
2) Modify the records in the Access database (i.e.: Remove columns you don't want)
3) Export to SharePoint List
The columns will be created/added for you in the SharePoint List
PS: You may need to remove the "Title" column from the Access database to avoid conflicts
Works fine ![]()
Cheers

- Jul 31, 2019A more easy way...save the CSV file as Excel file, store the Excel file in one of the sites you have access to and then use the new way of creating lists from Excel to create a list based on your Excel file 😉
