Question 1

How do I Export multiple emails from Outlook to Excel?

Accepted Answer

There are two popular ways to export outlook emails. The first way is to use the import/export function available in the desktop Outlook app, as the function is not available on Outlook's web version. The export wizard offers hints as you export a file. But take note of two main settings. Make sure to select 'Export to a file' and choose the file format as 'CSV' instead of .pst. The latter format is mainly used as a backup file or for uploading emails to another outlook account. Rather than using the built-in function, the second method is to use a third-party solution that can extract emails from Outlook into excel supported format, such as .xlsx. You can utilize our Data Export Kit software as it offers an intuitive export wizard and supports multiple formats.

Question 2

How do I copy and paste multiple email addresses from Outlook to Excel?

Accepted Answer

There are several ways to do this. For email addresses stored in Distribution or Groups, launch Outlook and select Contacts. Enable the List option to see available contacts and hold CTRL button and click on individual emails to copy them. Copy and then paste the contacts into the excel workbook. Secondly, you can manually export outlook email addresses using the Import/Export function. When exporting as a file, choose Comma separated values and choose Contacts. Thirdly, it's possible to use a data extraction kit software that can extract contacts from PST files automatically.

Question 3

Can I export my entire Outlook emails?

Accepted Answer

Yes, if you're planning to import the outlook emails into another account by the same email service provider, you can use the Import/Export function. In the export wizard, choose 'Outlook Data File .pst) as the format. The next step is quite easy. Select the folder to export from, for instance, Inbox or Sent Items. The only disadvantage of this method is that it doesn't offer flexible formats. The best way to save emails from outlook which is more robust and flexible is by using a data extractor tool.

Question 4

Can I extract data from an Excel attachment?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it's possible to parse data from the attached Excel files. But you'll need to use a third-party integration with a parsing function. Many users utilize Power Automate (formerly Microsoft Flow). They can parse the data and perform additional automated functions such as adding the data to a central database. Power Automate is not the only tool that offers this function. There are many other third-party integrations.

Question 5

Can I connect Outlook to Excel?

Accepted Answer

Yes, users can create a bridge allowing them to automatically send automated emails from Outlook to Excel. However, there is no native function to do this. Users have to find external solutions provided by Microsoft such as Power Automate or other third-party integrations by providers such as Zaiper, Automate.io, etc.

Question 6

Can I convert a PST file to Excel?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it's possible to convert PST, a format utilized by Microsoft Outlook for storing its information, to an Excel file supporting rows and columns. For this operation, it's necessary to find a conversion tool. There are many tools in the market from providers such as Cooltutilis, FileProInfo, Conholdate, and more. Many tools are free or may have a free trial period. We would recommend you to try the free version of Data Extraction Kit to automatically export PST items to the Microsoft Excel file.
