Unable to add existing list to Lists in Teams channel

That rings a bell. We created the SharePoint list by exporting from an Excel table. I am sure this is a similar problem, because if I create a new SharePoint list from scratch it is available in Teams Lists.

Thank you for your reply, Natalie
I had this same issue with a List that was created under a co-worker's account. When I recreated the list in the SharePoint site for the team, I was then able to add it as a tab in the team channel. In fact, I created the tab after creating the list, chose lists, add an existing list, and it found the list on the team's SharePoint website. I had to copy and paste each item (thankfully very few for this one) into the new list from the coworker's list to move the data.
1. Create the list in SharePoint.
2. Add the list as a tab in the team channel.
3. Add data (copy and paste or recreate).
