Working in Excel with an exported SahrePoint List into Excel.
- Feb 20, 2021
I could only make I guess that you lookup numbers. Numbers imported from SharePoint list in Excel will be presented as texts, thus in lookup column you have texts. If so you may try
=VLOOKUP(M2 & "", 'Staff Matrix'!$A:$B, 2)
I am definitely not one of the SharePoint specialists. But that doesn't mean that I can't provide any information to help. Here is some information - possibilities that I could memorize on the Internet.
Connecting to SharePoint-Based Excel File
There is also this way:
Linking excel to-> Access to-> Sharepoint
Create a sharepoint list. Link this to with Access.
Then you can export the list under "Actions" into a "Spreadsheet" (Excel) in Sharepoint. This works with any library or list. In the case of document libraries, the documents are even displayed as hyperlinks in the Excel lists.
This is now "linked" to Excel as an Excel list (the data area is outlined in blue). To "synchronize" the data you go to the Excel toolbar. A "List" symbol group should now appear there (list / switch result line / synchronize list / discard and update changes).
Synchronize list synchronizes the data with the SharePoint list. If you have write access to the Sharepoint list, you can also update the data via Excel and synchronize it with the Sharepoint list. This data then appears again immediately in your access database.
Import, link, or move data to SharePoint

Here is another VBA approach:
Public Sub Sharepoint_Verknüpfen()
On Error Resume Next
DoCmd.DeleteObject acTable, "TabellenName"
On Error GoTo 0
DoCmd.TransferDatabase acLink, "WSS" _
, "WSS;HDR=NO;IMEX=2;" _
& "DATABASE=https://adresse.ch/sharepointtabelle;" _
& "LIST={DKSDJFJsd10-3432-4DSD-8085-3ADB46C5E138};" _
& "VIEW=;RetrieveIds=Yes;TABLE=Parts", acTable, _
, "TabellenName"
End Sub
If that's not what you're looking for, just ignore it.
At the same time, I would be happy to find out if it helped you.
Wish you a nice day.

NikolinoDE Thank you for your response, is Access included within within 365?.
I think the issue is that a Vlookup doesn't connect to the imported SharePoint List data.
Is the imported SharePoint List file a data file or a query file?
I will try your suggestions and report back.

is Access included within within 365?.
Access included as part of Microsoft 365 and Office 365 subscriptions
As I said when it comes to Sharepoint, I'm a bloody beginner.
Thank you for your time and patience
