Calendar Guide: Exchange (Outlook) -> Google How to manually transfer your Exchange (Outlook) calendar over to Google Calendar
Do I need to do this? If you don t care much for your old calendar events before July 5th, 2017... then you can completely skip this whole process. This is ONLY for people who need their old calendar event records on Outlook. Take a look at your Google Calendar: www.calendar.google.com Do you have any important calendar events on your old Outlook that are not showing up on your new Google Calendar? If you don t (meaning that everything came over), you can stop here. Otherwise, you ll need to manually transfer all the old data from Outlook over to the new Google.
What we need to do: Delete all content from your Google Calendar. Save and export your Outlook Calendar to a CSV file. 3. Import your Outlook CSV file into Google. NOTE: Since we are replacing your entire Google Calendar with your Outlook, be aware that anything on your calendar from July 5th, 2017 and onwards will be deleted. The reason why we are replacing the entire calendar instead of merging the data is to avoid duplicate events. You might have to add the events from July 5th and onwards back into your new calendar after the successful transfer.
