Error adding external user ID to Distribution group in Office 365

I am facing an issue with exchange 365, kindly if someone help me out here.

I am not able to add external email address to the mailing list for example. somone@gmail.com,
I tried adding a contact to my contact list first then tried to add from the distribution list but it gives me an error like this one, I am authorized to use and edit the distribution list.

Haven’t tried this but I can access the admin console contacts list to update. Just never added anybody to it.

Answer appears to be add the external contact to the Office 365 contact list before adding them to the distribution list.
