Import csv file with recurring or repeating events into Google Calendar

You can’t import recurring or repeating events into the Google Calendar. Here is a workaround I use so you can pull in the recurring events. The top row of your csv file should contain the fields needed to import into Google Calendar. I added a field called Recurring and make my events either Yes or No. Then I sorted the events so all the recurring events are together.

The last step is to use Excel’s date function with the year, month, and day.
