Glitch when creating Sharepoint list from Excel
I've been trying to create a Sharepoint list from an Excel spreadsheet, and I keep having a problem with one column. The column contains mostly numbers, but they are not formatted very consistently. ...
I started to reply to this thread echoing the same issue; 1) error when importing certain columns as numbers, then freezing when importing all columns as Single Line Of Text. But whilst typing the list eventually finished importing. My spreadsheet was 4540 rows long, so maybe it's just an issue of waiting long enough?
Waiting longer helped me as well. Not sure why it says 100% complete when it's not, but after letting it sit for a few minutes while I did something else seemed to work--it was all imported and the status window was gone when I checked back.
I'm having the same problem.
Create List from Excel.
Says 100% Complete., but nothing happens.
Typical Microsoft Status Bar flat out lying to us again...
... I mean, why say 100% complete if it's no where near complete!?
Come on Microsoft - sort this cr*p out.In case it helps someone else, after banging my head against the brick wall of seeing the 100% complete message after importing a list from Excel but no lists appearing, I realised that if I just ignore the 100% complete message, DON'T close the window, and simply sit and wait long enough, the lists would eventually appear. If I close the window they never will. Classic Microsoft bug. Slow clap for Microsoft...
