Visualizing data sets in Outlook

Learn how to transform datasets into Outlook calendar visuals. Date-related data is easier to understand when it’s shown on a calendar instead of a spreadsheet. In this Data Survival Skills session, Robin demonstrates how to import CSV data directly into Outlook to quickly build a calendar view. You’ll learn how to map fields like start date, end date, task name, and location so your events display correctly—without hand-keying appointments. With overlay mode, you can compare multiple calendars side by side, spot conflicts, and plan more effectively. This technique saves time, reduces errors, and turns raw date fields into a meaningful schedule you can actually work with.
