    Dear Rounak Abdurahiman,

    Good day! Thank you for posting to Microsoft Community. We are happy to assist you.

    As per the description you have shared, we understand that you have a concern with exporting Contact lists from Outlook app or web.

    Typically, if you want to export specific contact list/group from Outlook for windows, please kindly follow the steps below.

    1. Open your Outlook for Windows, navigate to the people pane, and open the contact folder containing the specified contact group.
    2. Select the contact group you will export, and click File > Save As.
    3. In the Save As dialog box, you need to (1) click to open the destination folder for saving the exported contact group; (2) Rename the exported file as you need; (3) Select Text Only from the Save as type drop-down list; and finally (4) click Save button. See screenshot below.

    Now the specified contact list/group is saved as a separate text file.

    4. Open your Microsoft Excel and click Data > From Text. See screenshot below

    1. In the opening Import Text File dialog box, please (1) open the folder the specified text file is saved in, (2) specify All Files from the drop down list besides File name box, (3) select the specified text file, and then (4) click the Import button.
    2. Now the Import Data dialog box comes out, please specify the destination you will place the imported text file, and click the OK button. And now you will see the specified text file is imported and placed at the specified range.
    3. Finally, Click File > Save As in Excel and save the contact list/group as CSV file.
