Hi there,

You could create a Power Automate that would use the data from the Excel spreadsheet to create a SharePoint document. Below is a blog post that might help you draft this flow:

In case you need any assistance creating this, my recommendation is to reach out to a Microsoft Partner that specializes in Power Automate.

Regards,

Matt

I'm having the same problem. I have a user with 300 documents that they want to upload to SharePoint. They maintain information about the documents in an Excel spreadsheet - Department, Category, Last Review Date, Next Review Date, etc.

We want to upload the documents into a SharePoint Document Library (NOT A LIST), and then run a Power Automate workflow that will match the filename in the Document library to the file name listed in the spreadsheet, and import the values in the Excel columns and bring them into the columns in the Document library.

I can find scores of references to updating a SharePoint list from Excel, but not updating column values in a document library from Excel.

Why is this so hard?
