Excel Import for SharePoint

This is a SharePoint ListView Command Set extension based on SPFx with powerful and easy-to-use tool to import data from Excel and CSV files directly into existing SharePoint lists.

Overview

Excel Import for SharePoint solves one of the most common challenges in SharePoint: importing data into an existing list. While the built-in SharePoint import feature forces you to create a new list, this tool allows you to map and import data into your current lists, preserving your views, permissions, and structure.

As a specialized module from the comprehensive "List Tools" suite, it provides a dedicated experience for data migration and daily updates. It is built on the SharePoint Framework (SPFx), ensuring seamless integration with modern SharePoint sites.

Key Features

Import to Existing Lists: Easily upload data to any list you have access to, without replacing the list itself.

Field Mapping: Flexible mapping interface to match Excel columns to SharePoint fields. The system attempts to auto-match columns by name.

Wide Field Type Support: Supports importing into Text, Number, Yes/No, Person/Group, Lookup, Date, Choice, Hyperlink, Currency, and Multiple Lines of Text columns.

Data Preview: Validate and preview your data grid before the import process begins to ensure accuracy.

File Formats: Supports standard Excel files (.xlsx, .xls) and CSV format.
