CSV file uploading to google contacts

L.S. 

 

I need to upload an excel file to my google contacts. Can't get it to work tho. I'm aware that the file needs to be saved as a csv. file in order to be uploaded to google contacts. Now the xlsx. file that i have is separated by the cell's. If I save the xlsx. file as a csv. file nothing happens in the file and the upload doesn't work correctly. The phone-numbers appear in the contact description instead of the right place where they should be. Even a college on a windows computer runs in to the same thing. I'm not sure what I should do now. I watched every video on YouTube, but nothing seems to work. 

 

I could use some help. Thanks!

    Sometimes, you have to skip some fields on the target ( google contact) because you do not have that information.
    You should follow the same field orders on the target, and on the one that you do not want to fill,just add space and then ,

    on the target:

    First name, last name, mobile, email

    and you do not have the mobile, you write it like this in your CSV file

    John, Bill, ,John@gmail.com

    I hope this will help, otherwise post a sample of your contact and how it uploaded on google contact.
