Data loss often occurs when spreadsheet contact fields do not align with mobile contact standards. Fields such as phone labels, secondary email addresses, notes, and full postal addresses are frequently affected. Excel contact columns may store this information inconsistently across rows, causing contact migration errors. Mobile devices and email clients rely on structured contact attributes, which spreadsheets do not enforce. As a result, unsupported or misnamed fields may be skipped during import. Using a proper contact conversion process helps preserve this information. Generating a VCF contact file from spreadsheet data ensures that each attribute is stored correctly. Many users rely on tools like Softaken Excel to VCF Converter because it supports contact field mapping and vCard version compatibility, reducing the risk of missing contact details during mobile imports.
