Calendard export problem in Outlook

Hi,

As I now have plenty of duplicate events in my Outlook calendar, I would like to export all entries [including duplicates] into a CSV... So that I am able to run some regex on that file to merge particular events [and therefore not loose individual descriptions of various recurrent events], as I was able to proceed with my contacts a few days ago.

Unfortunately it seems that there is a bug with the CSV export feature for the calendar, as most descriptions are not exported. All events are indeed exported to the CSV, but it's not the case for their description... As if only one event of a given name was completely exported, whereas the other ones were exported without the description.

I tried a lot of tests on Outlook 2010, and ultimately downloaded a trial version of Office 365, but the problem remains the same. I am currently not able to fully export my calendar [including duplicates] to a CSV. :-/

Has anyone been facing this problem? Any clue would be greatly appreciated...

Were the affected items recurring events? If you edited the notes field in an occurrence (instead of the series) then export only that date will have the notes. The other dates will have the original notes.

Hi Diane,

Thanks for your answer. I indeed edited the notes filed in several occurrences, not in series.

I also thought about this possibility, and already made some tests by trying to only export a single day, from 4 March to 4 March... But that did not solve the problem. The tested event was exported without its description, despite I can still can see it in the original PST. :-/
