Sometimes you need to import your data in Excel files into SharePoint Portal.

Manually you can create a list and then change the view into DataSheet View, copy the data from your Excel files and paste into the DataSheet View. This will import Excel files manually, Yes!

But there is another option in SharePoint 2010!

Choose Site Actions and then More Options:

Set Name and then choose "Browse". In the picture above it shows something else because of localization. Select your file and then click Import. It will open Excel file and then require your permission to access SharePoint 2010 from Excel.

The article is very helpful! Thank you, I'll be sure to use your advice. Personally, I had some problems converting excel files over to PDF. Then I found this program at my work that quickly and painlessly converts my excel documents into pdf so I didn't have to do it manually (which would end up taking aggravating hours upon hours). It provides my business a simple way to make individualized statements for our business associates, taking our invoices and seamlessly placing the information in awesome templates.
