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)

I have 50 rows of information in sharepoint list. I have downloaded the excel of the sharepoint list and I delinked it. So any changes in the excel is not automatically updated in sharepoint list.
Sharepoint list is updated by many users. Now I have updated a particular column in excel and I want these information to be updated in sharepoint from excel.
I have common columns in sharepoint and excel however since the sharepoint is updated by other users, information in other columns in excel file need not to be updated in sharepoint.
So I want to update specific column in excel to sharepoint list.
I tried to link the excel file but since the sharepoint is already updated, I dont want to mess up things.
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.

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 library having 850 odd infopath forms. I need to export data from all these forms to an excel spreadsheet. Is there any optimized way of doing it without using any utility?
No, not without using any utility.
I've done this very successfully using Microsoft Access. The exact steps will depend on how the XML data is formed in InfoPath, but I've done it with both "flat" InfoPath form data as well as InfoPath forms that contain repeating tables. Basically, I map the SharePoint library as a drive letter on my computer, then an Access app iterates through all the InfoPath forms, imports it, and populates tables. From there, if needed, I further tune the data using Access queries and then push the finished data to another Access database that stores the table(s). Finally, I have one or more Excel workbooks -- with pretty pivot tables and charts etc -- that pull their data from the table(s).
At one of my clients, they use this tool I built for them to import and report on about 800 safety reports created in InfoPath every month. Very slick.
