  • Usually, a "unsupported format" problem occurring during Excel contact imports to iCloud indicates improper file type. You must first convert your Excel contacts into a format iCloud recognizes if you are solving this. Creating a CSV file from your Excel file and subsequently modifying that CSV file into a VCF file is a great approach to achieve this. If that sounds complicated, don’t worry — there’s a handy tool called GainTools CSV to VCF Converter that can make the job really simple. It enables fast conversion of your contacts into the appropriate format so you may import them to iCloud without any problems. Especially if you're not technical, using a program like this saves time and eliminates all the formatting problems. You are also able to test it out cost-free by using its free trial edition.
