Use case: super user need to mass update certain fields. List View is not an option because the fields will be update with different values and for multiple fields.
Step-by-Step:
1. Navigate to Data Import Wizard menu: Setup | Data Management | Data Import Wizard
2. Click Launch Wizard! button
3. Select "Accounts and Contacts" under Standard object, if the user does not see "Accounts and
Contacts", make sure the user have Import Personal Contacts permission.
4. Select "Update existing records" under "What do you want to do?"
5. Leave "Match Contact by" to default value since we are not updating Contact
6. Change "Match Account by" to "Salesforce.com ID" since I have Salesforce Account Id
7. Make sure to select "Update existing Account information"
8. Drag CSV file to upload
9. Click Next to continue
10. Click Change link under "Account: Salesforce.com ID, Contact: Salesforce.com ID"
11. Remove Contact Id from mapping
12. Click Next, then Start Import button
Once done, user should get email from Salesforce with:
Subject: Salesforce import of "filename.csv" has finished. 999 rows were processed.
