Why convert ICS to CSV?

ICS (iCalendar, RFC 5545) is a plain-text format designed for calendar apps, not data analysis. Converting to .csv lets you work with event data in spreadsheets, filter meetings by date or category, merge multiple calendars into one sheet, or load events into project management tools that accept CSV imports.

How to convert ICS to CSV

Microsoft Outlook APP

Import the .ics via File > Open & Export > Import an iCalendar file, then export as CSV via File > Open & Export > Import/Export > Export to a file > Comma Separated Values.

Quality & what to watch

  • Recurring events may appear as a single row with the recurrence rule as text rather than as individual expanded occurrences; Google Calendar's export does expand them, while Outlook's behavior varies by version.
  • Microsoft Outlook's CSV export includes detailed columns: Subject, Start Date, Start Time, End Date, End Time, Location, Description, and more.

Frequently asked questions

Does Google Calendar export ICS files as CSV?
Google Calendar imports .ics files but its built-in export produces .ics; use a separate ICS-to-CSV converter after the import step.
Will recurring events appear as separate rows in the CSV?
Google Calendar's export expands recurring events into individual rows; Outlook's CSV export behavior varies by version.
What columns does the CSV contain?
Typical columns include Subject, Start Date, Start Time, End Date, End Time, All Day Event, Location, and Description; the exact set depends on which app exports the file.
