I have tried going to existing oab and it shows , I still can't get my
contacts to show in my address book. Is there a limit to the number of
contacts in the oab

 Please clarify your question.  What has this to do with Excel?
 Which version are you running?
 Which Contacts folder can't you see?
 What have you done so far to enable the Contacts as an Outlook Address
book?

I am able to see my contacts in window next to the navigation pane, but they
do not show up, when I open the address book?

Right-click your Contacts folder, choose Properties, select the Outlook
Address Book tab, and check the box labeled "Show this folder as an e-mail
Address Book".

Remove the Outlook Address Book service from your mail profile, stop and
restart Outlook, and re-add the service.

I've no experience importing from Excel.  Perhaps someone else will be able
to answer.
