Errors

Do you get this error?

Solution

Modify EXPTOOWS, which is an Excel Add In file. This article has instructions with screen print to walk you through the changes required. Before making the changes .  .

1. Make  a copy of  EXPTOOWS.XLA

2. Double-click to open EXPTOOWS.XLA file. You get a blank page. Press Alt + F11 to open in code view

3. Comment out the lines not required by using  ’/

This imports the spreadsheet as a SharePoint list. Modify the view as required. The first row of the spreadsheet will be imported as columns in the SharePoint list

Housekeeping

· Remove blank rows before importing the spreadsheet as blank rows are taken as an item in the SharePoint list

· Before importing sort the columns in the desired order in the spreadsheet, to avoid doing the sort later in the SharePoint list.

· As filtered columns are not considered while importing, do not filter in the spreadsheet before import. It can be done from SharePoint.
