Export Mac Contacts to Excel

How to export Mac contacts to Excel
- Open Exporter for Contacts 2 and select accounts, groups or single contacts.
- Pick the fields you want with the Simple Field Chooser or the Custom Export Layout Editor.
- Choose Excel as the export format.
- Save the file and open it directly in Excel, Numbers or FileMaker.
No CSV import step at all
Excel files don't suffer the typical CSV problems: text encodings, mangled fields and date formats are all handled for you. There's nothing to interpret or convert after the export.
Export only the columns you need
You decide which fields are exported and in what order. Multiple phone numbers or email addresses can be split by label or bundled into one cell, and special fields such as the full name, or street and house number as separate columns, are available too.
Opens directly in FileMaker or Numbers as well
An Excel file is not just for Excel. Numbers and FileMaker open it directly, so the same export works with any spreadsheet app.

Will leading zeros and umlauts survive the export?
