Enhance SharePoint list that contains imported Excel data

A SharePoint Online tutorial by Peter Kalmström

SharePoint iconIn the previous demo, Peter Kalmström, CEO and Systems Designer of kalmstrom.com Business Solutions, described some problems with the SharePoint list that is created when you use the Export to SharePoint button in Excel.

Unfortunately the automatically created list does not take advantage of all SharePoint features. In demo below, Peter gives some tips on how to make the new list better adapted to SharePoint:
  • Enable versioning, so that you can see different versions of the list. This possibility is one of the major benefits with having the data in SharePoint instead of in Excel.
  • Change the default view from Datasheet to Standard.
  • Excel iconAdd an Edit button to the Standard view.
  • Hide columns that don't need to be displayed, to get a cleaner view.
  • Create more views to show the data from different aspects.
  • Add the list to the Quick Launch.
