Importing a mailing list from an Excel CSV file
It's really easy to import an Excel file into your subscriber list. First, you will need to clean it up and save it as a CSV file (comma separated value). You can do this from within Excel.

Preparing your Excel file
You will want to delete any extra empty rows or data that you do not want to import. Delete any column labels you may have created as well otherwise they will be imported and would look funny.
