Hi, same problem here.
First 50 rows are triplicated each time a list is created from Excel.
It started from a single user and now it has spreaded throughout the whole organization.
Very frustrating and strange behaviour.

MCMax70 I came to this forum, looking for an answer to the exact same thing. Recently, like the original author, said while trying to upload an Excel spreadsheet through a SharePoint site instead of my personal my list, I noticed the first 50 lines were triplicated no matter what I did, I could not get rid of them, after deleting the original uploads re-downloading the report, re-creating the report clearing my cache, trying a different browser, etc.. The problem persists as stated above. This does not occur on my individual list only on a team-based SharePoint site, which I created. As suggested above, I created another SharePoint site strictly for the purpose of testing this and the same issue occurs. Not sure what’s going on but I hope Microsoft finds a solution soon as it is preventing me from using this otherwise wonderful product as intended.
