Mac Outlook 2016 - Import Contacts

I can't find a straightforward answer on this, so hoping you can help. I want to import a list of contacts in Excel (Mac 2016) into my Outlook (Mac 2016) contacts list. This used to be easy, but I cannot find the functions to do this now. Is this another functionality Microsoft has stripped from Mac Office or is there a way to do it?

Many thanks

Answer
You can't import it straight into Outlook, but there is a way around this:
• Export from Excel to a csv file.
• Import the csv file into the System Contact app (it should be fairly
straightforward, especially if all fields are properly labeled).
• Select all contacts there and drag them to the desktop to create a .vcf
• drag the .vcf into the address book where you want them imported in
Outlook.
 
That should do the trick.
