Situation/requirement: I have a sharepoint list. The entries in this sharepoint list go as entry to an excel sheet which is a form to be printed out. I am looking into a functionality flow/app that could be used to export the new entries to fill and print out to an excel template. Any thoughts?
#Gaurav Vasishth,
Power Automate offers a connector that could update Excel file on the cloud.

You can use this connector to update rows or create worksheet/table.

I have an Excel list resided in SharePoint site with more than 2000 rows sorting by dates and 20 columns.
I wish to extract only latest dates every month and only select a few columns, then to synchronise at SharePoint List.
Can it be done?
The best option is to create Power Automate.
Trigger: When the item is added or updated in the excel sheet
Action: Add/Update to SharePoint list
Below references should help you to get started:
1.Add & Update Excel Data to SharePoint List using Power Automate
2.Update SharePoint List From Excel File
3.EXCEL To SharePoint List Through MS Flow
my client has a requirement that he should be able to update the sharepoint list data from Excel sheet but in Sharepoint only one way data sync. is possible (we can import the data in excel but we can not update sharepoint list via excel).
Try this instead - if SharePoint list data is below the threshold limit of 5000 records, then perhaps you can use datasheet view of list
I want to create a list from an excel spreadsheet in SharePoint 2010. When a new Excel document is uploaded to a SharePoint library, a corresponding list will be created automatically. Is this possible?
You can do this in two phases:
Create an empty MS Access database and import your excel sheet into it (in MS access go to External data -> Excel, choose your file and follow the steps to import it.
When you get the MS access table with the data from excel sheet, right click the table name in Tables section and go to Export -> SharePoint list. There you can specify the url of your SharePoint site and the name of the new list. Click Ok and wait until the list is created and the data is uploaded to SharePoint.
EDIT:
Since this needs to be done automatically (as stated in comments), this is the high overview of the things that needs to be done, with some useful links:
Create Event receiver for the library that the excel files will be uploaded to.
In the ItemAdded Method write the code that will do the following:
Get the uploaded file
Parse the excel file using the OpenXml library
Create the list in the SharePoint site, based on the columns taken from the excel file
Loop through all the rows in the excel file and insert the list item for each excel row.
I have a Sharepoint 2010 Access list which already had some data populated in it. I get data from my client in an Excel which then is needed to be appended to that Sharepoint Access list. Is there an easy way to do this? Can I bulk upload this new data which would automatically get appended on Sharepoint.
Export your existing list to Excel.
Combine the two Excel spreadsheets into one.
Import the final Excel spreadsheet to SharePoint (http://www.dummies.com/how-to/content/import-a-spreadsheet-as-a-list-in-sharepoint-2010.html)
So you can export a list to a spread sheet, but can you do the opposite? Preferably from an Excel sheet.
Go the the Create menu in sharepoint and upder Custom Lists, click Import Spreadsheet. Type the name of the list, browse to the spreadsheet and click Import.
You can also sync your spreadsheet and list on a continual basis by making a list on your spreadsheet and then publishing that to sharepoint.
Open your sheet
Select your data
Click Crtl+l
Click ok
Right click list
Publish list
type name of sharepoint site
name of sharepoint list
click Finish
Yes, you can do it from Excel 2003 :( bit is bit limiting. There is a workaround to do the same from Excel 2007...
But, to achieve best results you should use Access 2007 because it provides you with everything you need. It allows you to do the same you can as from the web interface.
