After converting the all the fields to Single line text, I am getting below error.

There are couple of ways to identify this issue.
Hard code / pass default values to create SharePoint Online list item.
If this fails, then there could be an issue with SharePoint connection - account.
If this is passed. then there could be an issue while reading data from Excel online - account. Have you correct values from Excel Online while running the Power Automate ?

Thanks,
Murali.

Hi @JD14
Error 400 indicates that there is a problem with your action configuration.
Could you please provide the screenshots of the Flow configuration and the screenshots of your list and excel?
Please provide more details so that we could do a further analysis of this issue.
Best Regards
