How do I import a personal list into SharePoint Online? #M365AMA
In this episode, the #M365AMA panel discusses the following community question:
“I had a question from a colleague about how could they transfer a personal MS List (stored in OneDrive) to another SharePoint in Teams. When you create a new list in SharePoint online and choose “based on existing list” you cannot see your personal lists, only the SharePoint online lists. I know I could export it as an Excel and then import , but does anybody know another easier way?”
