Any Solution to this import/export problem?

Create a new contact folder and populate it with a few names/numbers, etc.
Export this to a .csv. Open the .csv and compare it to the one from which
you are trying to import and massage the fields accordingly. Ensure that
you have no formulas set to operate in the Excel worksheet you are using.
