Frequently asked questions

What is Merge ICS files?

Combine several calendar files into one, keeping every event.

When would I actually use this?

Getting events out of a calendar and into a spreadsheet you can count and filter, building an .ics from a list of dates, merging several calendars into one file, and reading an invitation without adding it to anything.

What is the most common mistake?

Treating a zoned time as if it were universal. A start written with a named zone carries a wall-clock time, and re-emitting it as UTC moves the meeting by whatever offset the converting machine happened to have. An all-day date suffers worse: turned into an instant it becomes midnight UTC, which is the day before anywhere west of Greenwich.

How is Merge ICS files different from Merge Excel files?

They sit next to each other but answer different questions: Merge Excel files is the one to open when you need it to combine several workbooks into one, keeping every sheet and renaming on collision. Pick whichever matches what you're starting from — both are free.

Is there a tool for the next step?

Merge VCF files is the closest one after this: Combine several vCard files into a single address book you can import once.

What else is worth having open alongside it?

CSV to ICS and ICS to CSV — they come up in the same task often enough to be worth a second tab.

Where do the figures come from?

Calendars are read against the published iCalendar specification, in the browser. The three things a conversion most often drops are carried through untouched rather than interpreted: the named zone, the all-day flag, and the recurrence rule that makes one entry stand for a whole series.
