Hi everyone
We are going through a process of recreating some of our classic publishing pages in the new Modern UI. We seem to be at a point where we can do everything we need on the Modern UI pages apart from one thing.
We have a list that was originally created using the Excel export to SharePoint feature detailed here. We now want to display this list in the new list web part on a modern page but it doesn't appear and I assume it's because it was initially created using Excel? The default view for this list is no longer the datasheet view but I assume that the way it was created from Excel means that SharePoint sees it as something other than a standard list?
My question is whether anyone knows any way of converting this list into a modern list format so it can be displayed in the modern list web part? The only way I can see of doing this at the moment is to manually recreate the list and then copy the content into the new list using ShareGate. However, there are quite a lot of fields in the list so if possible I don't want to have to do this.
I'd be grateful for any advice or experience on this anyone has to share?
Thanks in advance.
