Calendar input and sync

[mustafakaplan]

There is a lot of usage of calendar events in business world. Having a native sync and input functions for popular calendar formats like ical or google calendars will save a lot of time

Agree would be nice to have this built in.

As an experiment tried to build a macro to parse iCal in Alteryx. While not covering everything (can't handle Duration or Recurrence particularly yet) works pretty well on simple files:

@jdunkerley79 any further progress on this? ... i.e. adding recurrences?

Hi @jdunkerley79 Thanks for the macro. It works for the most part however, the parser truncates the location incorrectly. Has anybody worked on it further?
