Good Day
We have been waiting for several months now in seeing the new option for creating a New List from an existing Excel spreadsheet. This feature was due last July and although the site contents page shows the new UI option with the choice of using an existing SharePoint list to create a new one for example, we do not see the choice for creating the new list from Excel. We seen screenshots on Microsoft sources for example https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/Microsoft-SharePoint-Blog/Create-SharePoint-lists-from-Excel-... , we still don't have this option available and we have 3 different tenants. Any information on this is appreciated.

@JMB125I am not familiar with the exact feature you are referencing, with a particular UI, but the functionality to create a new SharePoint List from an Excel Spreadsheet already exists. You can take an Excel sheet, select the necessary information, and then convert that information into a Table (Insert Tab), then export that Table to a SharePoint List (Design Tab).
More information available at this link:
Apologies if you are looking for a different or more up to date functionality.
