I've named a range on the Excel document, but when I try to import it gives
me an error message that tells me I need to name a range.

Try this, create an item in Outlook's Calendar - export it to Excel and
compare the documents.  Massage yours to match the Outlook format and try it
again.

If you have exported Outlook items to Excel, and have your Excel spreadsheet
open, what about comparing the two items is hard to understand?  What
exactly are you asking?  Look at the two of them, compare the data layout,
and then make yours like the one from Outlook.

I am importing from Excel to calendar and it is only picking up the first
month of information and no more.  I have seen a date range box come up
before but now I don't.

Make sure your named range in Excel covers all the data you want to import.
