Excel VBA to create multiple distribution lists in outlook (2016)

[Beth0331]

Hello,

I'm looking for a way to create 80+ distribution lists in outlook and include contacts in those groups. My data looks like the below. I would need to create a new distribution list(contact group) in outlook based off of the name in the DistList column and add new contacts to it. For example I would need to Create a Distribution list named XYZInc3 and then create four new contacts in that distribution lists (Mary, Joe, Sarah & John). After that one is created I would need EFGCorp7 created with 3 contacts(Bob, David and Sue) and so on. Can someone assist with the code that can do this?

Ideally I would like to save these down to a Public Contacts folder, is this possible?
