Exporting Address Book to Excel or Numbers

Is it possible to export my Address Book to Excel or Numbers, or at the very least Word or iWork? I thought I was able to do this under Leopard or another previous version of OS X

first export any contacts you want as a vcard.
you can convert that vcard to a csv file using this converter for example
http://labs.brotherli.ch/vcfconvert/
the csv file can then be imported into excel or numbers.

Exporting Address Book to Excel

I would like to export addresses from my Address Book to Excel, to create a database Christmas card list that I can update every year with "sent", "received", and related information. Is it possible to do this? If not, does anyone out there know any good christmas card list database software? This seems a natural for both AddressBook and Excel, but neither have any helpful tips in their Help.
iMac G4 17-inch Mac OS X (10.4.5)

Option Two: Use Address Book, itself.
In the Note field, add keywords for sent and received. I'd use something that you would not add to the notes normally (e.g. xMasSent, xMasReceived). You can then create smart groups to find all with xMasSent--call it Cards Sent; one that finds all with xMasReceived--call it Cards Received. You could also use the "does not contain" option to find ones not sent or received. Finally, you could find all that you sent, but not received.
Taking this further, you could create an applescript that would "reset" all the cards--erase the xMasSent, xMasReceived. Or, you could add the year to the keywords to keep a log of the years you sent and received. I think I could create the Applescript easy enough if you decide to go this route. However, some things I think should be easy turn out to be very difficult.

What is the simplest way to export Address Book into a spreadsheet (Numbers) and get all the information including physical address?

Can anyone help with this? I've exported the address book, but all the information does not appear. I've expanded out the columns but still don't get the home address.
Also, formatting is an issue with phone numbers. Not all phone numbers were entered the same way in the Address Book. Is there a way to change the entire column with a particular cell format?

Oh, I meant Leopard does do more than Tiger Server.
I don't know enough about Server, even less abut Syncing.
SL is to new, not enough time to iron out the kinks yet imho.
One day SL will be better than Leo, but...
I'd ask over in server...

Or perhaps Collaboration Services...

They may even have a different opinion on SL.

How do I Export Address Book data?

Is there anyway to insert Address Book data into other (non-Apple) applications, e.g. Word?
I want to send out some letters and I would like each letter to have the recipiants address at the top of the letter. Even if I could export the data to Excel first would be OK but I only seem to be able to export vCards from Address Book and Excel (nor Word) can read them?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,

Yink,
you can use some third-party applications to export Address Book data as plain text files (e.g., csv) which you should then be able to import without any problems in Excel and the like.
Some options are:
• Export Addresses from Mail Scripts

• Address Book Exporter

• Export Address Book

Does the Export Address book work also with Mavericks ?

I want to export my address book to excel file ? Does the Exporter address book for mac was tested with MACOSX Maverick ? Is it going to work ?

For the next person to come along, here are Microsoft instructions for formatting leading Zeros in Excel. http://support.microsoft.com/KB/81518
An image of the phone number being set to text in Excels import Wizard. I don't have the 2007 version available to test, but I do not recall it being any different about a decade ago.

Export a Book to Excel

I can swear I was able to do this in another project, but I haven't been able to figure out how to export a book to excel.
I have developed six reports on Hyperion Financial Reporting Studio and merged them in a Book. Now, I would like to export these six report to one Excel spreadsheet, with 6 sheets and each sheet represents a report.
I can export them one by one and see 6 of them in one pdf, but it is not what I want.
Any help is appreciated.
Cheers,
A

Just an update on this: The users had agreed to export each report one by one. I can let them know if there is a better way.
Thanks,
A

Export Address Book into Outlook

How do you export Address Book to use in Outlook?

You connect the iPhone to iTunes, select Outlook as to where you want to sync contacts, and calendar if you want, and then sync. The only thing you need to do is make sure if the Outlook on the computer is completely empty, put in a unique contact in Outlook to force the merge option to come up.

How to export Address Book content as Unicode with applescript?

Hello,
I have a problem for exporting address book content. I'd like to export "My Card" to a vcf file and use another application to read it. So I have the following applescript:
*+tell application "Finder"+*
*+set theFolder to folder "TemporaryItems" of folder "Caches" of folder "Library" of home+*
*+end tell+*
*+tell application "Address Book"+*
*+set theVcard to (vcard of my card) as Unicode text+*
*+set theFile to (theFolder as text) & "myCard.vcf"+*
*+set theFileHandle to open for access theFile with write permission+*
*+-- write (ASCII character of 254) to theFileHandle+*
*+-- write (ASCII character of 255) to theFileHandle+*
*+write theVcard to theFileHandle+*
*+close access theFileHandle+*
*+end tell+*
OK, now the problem is that if "My Card" has any double-byte characters like Chinese or Arabic, the output file will just hold some question marks ("??"). The code works in Tiger but not Leopard. (Add char 254 and 255 just to make it a UTF16-BE file. So it doesn't really change the result of this script.)
I started digging and guess here is the reason: in the following statement the "vcard of my card" will always return plain text:
+*set theVcard to (vcard of my card) as Unicode text*+
I got this clue from the help of ScriptEditor:
+*vcard (text, r/o) : Person information in vCard format, this always returns a card in version 3.0 format.*+
But in Tiger, you can see:
+*vcard (Unicode text, r/o) : Person information in vCard format, this always returns a card in version 3.0 format.*+
Any workaround to solve this problem?
(And if this is not the right place to ask such question, please just let me know.)
Thanks a lot!
Calvin

Hello Calvin,
Since your code works under OSX10.4 and fails under OSX10.5, the cause would be the change made in AppleScript 2.0.
Try -
write theVcard as Unicode text to theFileHandle
instead of -
write theVcard to theFileHandle
The read/write commands in AS 2.0 have been change so that they will always interpret the text in system's primary encoding if 'as Unicode text' is not specified in commands' parameter.
