I have created an excel database of community event dates of which I need to
import (or link) into the Outlook Calender. I have not been able to achieve
this. Is there any way to complete this task?

Create a couple of events in Outlook and export the calendar to Excel.
Compare the Outlook one with yours and adjust yours accordingly. Note:
Outlook does not import custom fields.

Previously, I have exported my Outlook Calendar on to Excel to view the
format. I then added an additional "Test Event", following the same format.
Outlook did not recognize the format when I tried to import it back into the
Outlook Calendar. Please advise.
