CSV to iCal Calendar Convertor

From Yahoo / Outlook to iPod, iPhone, iCal and Google Calendar.

CSV Format

Options

Calendar Name:

Time Zone:

Typically, this is the timezone of the place you are at. If your events show up at the wrong time (e.g. every event is 4 hours late) then you probably need to pick a different time zone.

Mark all-day events as repeating yearly.

(E.g. birthdays and anniversaries.) Due to the limited information in a CSV file, it is not possible to include accurate data about repeated events (e.g. weekly, monthly, or yearly events.) This option is a heuristic workaround that lets you select what to do with such events.

iCal Format

iCal

Supported by:

Apple iPhone
Apple iPod
Apple iCal
Google Calendar
Mozilla Sunbird
PHP iCalendar
Also an IETF standard for calendar information.

How to obtain CSV file from Yahoo Calendar:

Choose Export to Outlook (.csv).
Save the file somewhere on your disk.

Disclaimer and Known Issues

This service is provided as-is and with no warranties, and this conversion may not work for all calendars.

Because of the limited information that is available in the exported file, conversions will not be perfect. For example, repeated events are not correctly included in Yahoo's CSV file. Hence, for an event that repeats, say every year, you will see one entry for each such year, up to the year 2038. The convertor does not automatically detect such erroneous duplicates at this point, though this may change in the future.
