I'm trying to export contacts from Outlook (web version) and some records are missing and others are incomplete. I don't have the desktop version, so what are my options? I don't have time to manually enter 1,500 contacts. I never have this issue with my Google contacts.

    How many export?

    Do you have duplicates? Outlook will display duplicates as one, visually merging the contacts but exporting would export each separately.

    If the exported contact data is incomplete, you can try opening the exported CSV file in Excel. Check if there are any obvious data formatting issues or missing values. If there are, you can manually repair the data as much as possible. Then, you can try to import the repaired CSV file back into Outlook to see if the problem is resolved.
