How do I transfer Outlook Exchange contacts into my iCloud account?

I've just spent an hour searching the web for help, and I keep coming up with convoluted solutions that have not worked. I am trying to copy my Outlook contacts into iCloud. It cannot seriously be this difficult.

Are you on a Mac? Windows? What version of Outlook?

If you're on iOS 8 (I think this applies to iOS 7, too), go to Contacts > [contact on Exchange], then Share Contact. Text the contact to yourself, then save it in Contacts again; this time, in iCloud.

Hope this makes sense? A pain for many contacts, but the easiest way.

Interop between Microsoft's walled garden and Apple's fortified walled garden? Difficult by design.
