Create a List based on a Spreadsheet in SharePoint 2010

 

Before you import, prepare your data

• The top row of your spreadsheet should consist of labels or headers. Each label should describe the contents of the data beneath it.
• Make sure your information is properly separated so that later it can be sorted easily. For example, you may have a column called “Name” that contains the first and last name of a customer. However, you might want to separate that column into two columns, one for “First name” and one for “Last name.”
• A list should not contain any blank rows, blank columns, or empty cells.
