Import Excel Documents Into Outlook

[Guest]

I am trying to import a list that I created in excel into my tasks list in Outlook. I can import a few, but then it stops importing. I have a few questions
1. is there a specific file format required for importing in from excel into outlook task
2. is there a task limitation on what is imported
3. why do some of my task lists only import a few. (i.e. one has probably 30 or so tasks, but will only import 6, another won't import any, and the other will import all). It's weird. They are all made the same. Just different files

I am sure this isn't detailed enough, but I think it is. Please help me out. I can't figure this out.

Have you tried saving the excel file as a "csv" file and then importing
using the "comma separated value option?

The main requirements are that the data be arranged with a row for each task record and all the data you want to import covered in the same named range.

Thanks. The csv thing worked. Should have asked the question a few days ago.
