outlook contacts?

Have you tried using the File menu Import and Export command in Outlook to
import from an XLS file?

I did try the import/export option, but got an error message stating that
the excel translator did not recognize the file, or something to that effect.

I have an excel spreadsheet that I have been using as a pipeline, and I
would like to import the contact data into outlook contacts in order to
consolidate my mailing list. The error message says that the excel
translator does not recognize the file, or that the file may be corrupt. Now
what?

Did you name the range you are trying to import?

We have had a few cases where Excel files have been submitted to us that
were found to be unusable when accessed directly - the file was indeed
corrupt internally but still functioned within Excel so to the owner - all
looked normal which may or may not be the case with your file assuming it's
a supported version of Excel etc etc

Quick solution to your requirement:

#1 - Save your worksheet as a CSV file and import that file into Outlook
using the Outlook import wizard.
