If your VCF file won't convert:

- • Corrupted file: Try opening in text editor to verify vCard format
- • File size: Very large VCF files (>50MB) may need to be split
⚠️ Missing Excel Data
If Excel output is missing information:
- • Non-standard fields: Custom VCF fields may not be recognized
- • Multiple values: Multiple phone numbers may be combined in one cell
- • Encoding issues: Special characters may not display correctly in Excel
