N. Sem’s Blog - Your Search Ends Here! Old Trend for Storing Contacts Information In the earlier days, Excel file was excessively used as the conventional way to store contacts and information. In fact, Excel files are still used in some organizations or by some individuals for saving contacts. But because of a modern transformation in our devices and programs, the old format has been transformed to vCard, a universally supported format. The format is widely accepted by almost all operating systems including Windows, Mac, Android, iOS and many others. We all know that Excel is an important component of Microsoft Office suite. Some computer users are still using Excel for managing their contact details. The reason is pretty simple and clear, i.e. the contacts are in readable format and users can modify with ease. Sometimes you need to import your contacts from the Excel file or export the contacts to an Excel file. Both the tasks are just next to impossible. You can’t import the contacts from your Excel file to any other program or device as this format is not widely accepted over other programs or distinct devices. In the same way, you can’t export the contacts to an Excel file directly. It will definitely require a lot of hard work and sometimes the task becomes time-consuming as you need to add numerous contacts manually (one by one).
