7.4.2 Via export to / import from EXCEL:

Group addresses can be directly exported from the Group Addresses window and then re-
imported. Professionals can use this to generate the address lists conveniently outside
ETS e.g. in a spreadsheet program such as EXCEL. This section briefly describes the
process: To obtain a suitable CSV file for further processing as a template, one should
first generate a small starting structure in ETS. This is then exported as a CSV file in 3/3
format with a header line. In EXCEL, it is important that separators are immediately
recognised, TAB being the most suitable, so that EXCEL also creates the 6 columns
required for a 3-level group address structure. The required addresses can now be
generated in EXCEL. The sequence is of no importance. One should however avoid
ambiguities or address numbers outside the defined range.
