Most AT&T users probably don't use the Online Address Book Bkup but it is ending over the next 3 months and my first Export attempt in .xlsx Format (Excel 2010) netted a really Jumbled bunch of data.

Looks like 3rd party Apps are needed and you can Export from the AT&T Online Bkup page as .CSV or VCF.
Saving VCF (to Desktop) created a Monster where each of 258 Contacts presented themselves SEPARATELY to be dealt with - Thanks AT&T.....
Re-Start / cancel ended the mess.

Can anyone recommend Export Apps to Save for Importing Back INTO the phone IF needed - AND - maybe to view as a not-jumbled Excel spreadsheet?
I presume .CSV is the most important Format to save.
MobiKin is the 1st App I saw Googling but know nothing about it.

You're using Android. Any reason to not just have them in Google Contacts?

Export your AT&T Online Address Book to a CSV file and upload it to Google Contacts (https://contacts.google.com/).

Done & THANKS.
I hadn't used the Google account yet as some of these Apps aren't as intuitive to me as others.
Already lost on How to Sync a New Contact I add to my Note 5 to the Google backup.
If I wireline the Note 5 to USB desktop port will Import Duplicate everything or Recognize just Changes?
I'll Google for it if it's too complicated to indicate here.
Thanks again.
