Import Excel file into an Existing List

SharePoint offers the basic feature of importing a spreadsheet which will then become a brand new list. If any updates are made to the spreadsheet, you will either have to:

  • manually key in the updates to the list -or-
  • copy and paste the updates to the list using the DataSheet View or QuickEdit (depending on your version of SharePoint), -or-
  • delete the list and re-import the spreadsheet, thereby creating a new list every time

Alternatively, there is an add-in for SharePoint Online that allows you to import an Excel or CSV file into an existing SharePoint list.
