Step 2: Import events into Google Calendar After you've exported your events, you can import them into Google Calendar. You can import ICS and CSV files on a computer. You can also import ICS files on an Android phone or tablet. In the top right, click Settings Settings. Click Import & Export.

If you get an error while importing a CSV file, you might be able to fix the formatting. Open an existing CSV file or create a new one using a spreadsheet editor like. The first row of your spreadsheet will include headers like Subject and Start Date. The headers must be in English. See the list below for the correct headers.

Start Time The time the event begins. Example: 10:00 AM.
End Date The last day of the event. Example:. End Time The time the event ends. Example: 1:00 PM. All Day Event Whether the event is an all-day event. Enter True if it is an all-day event, and False if it isn't.
Example: False. Description Description or notes about the event. Example: 50 multiple choice questions and two essay questions. Location The location for the event.
Example: 'Columbia, Schermerhorn 614'. Private Whether the event should be marked private. Enter True if the event is private, and False if it isn't.
Example: True The examples above would create the event 'Final exam' on May 30, 2020 from 10:00 AM to 1:00 PM. The location would be 'Columbia, Schermerhorn 614,' the description would be '50 multiple choice questions and two essay questions,' and it would be a private event. ICalendar files are a standard calendar format used to transfer calendar data. If you get an error while importing an iCAL ('ics') file, you might be able to fix the formatting. Open an existing ICAL file or create a new one. You'll need to use a text editing application that can save iCalendar files. Format your file according to the guidelines below.
You can export an ICAL file from Google Calendar to use as an example. When you're done, save the file as an iCalendar ('ics') file. Format iCalendar files The first line in an iCalendar file must always be the header BEGIN:VCALENDAR. This must be followed by other header information, including VERSION:2.0 and 'PRODID:'. The last line of the file must be the footer END:VCALENDAR. Between these lines is where all the events in the calendar are entered.
Each event must be between BEGIN:VEVENT and END:VEVENT lines. If you need to manually edit an iCalendar file, make sure that each file contains the header and footer. If you're not sure where your header ends, just copy and paste the text until one line above BEGIN:VEVENT, which is where your header ends and your event data starts. Here's what an iCalendar file looks like. An iCalendar file can also have more information, but these are the required parts. BEGIN:VCALENDAR VERSION:2.0 PRODID: (other header information goes here) BEGIN:VEVENT (event details) END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT (event details) END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR Troubleshooting Get help fixing.
