Microsoft Lists begins general availability roll out to Microsoft 365

Hi Heiko Fuhrmann - there is a new, modern way to import from Excel that is a part of the create experience. When you get Microsoft Lists, you'll see the from Excel button to create a new list, and the tech is already available today:

A quick step-by-step ‘how to’

1. From within your SharePoint site, click the upper-right gear icon and select Site contents*
2. At the top of the Site contents page, Click New > List
3. Click the From Excel tab
4. Enter a name for your new list
5. Click Upload file to select from your local device or pick from files already in Microsoft 365
6. Update the column type headers; for example, change "Number" to Date and time; choice fields work, too, automatically aggregating unique values.
7. Click Create to import the Excel table data and create a new SharePoint list

Note: You can analyze SharePoint list items from a view of the list to Excel – to work with the data in a spreadsheet; simply click Export to Excel. Note: Excel creates an Excel table with a one-way data connection based on a web query file. To bring a fresh copy of the SharePoint list to Excel, select Refresh All on the Data tab from within Excel. Changes made to the Excel table will not be sent to the SharePoint list.
