In this video, you will learn how to use Power Apps to import an Excel file to your SharePoint List or other data source.

This allows users to update SharePoint with their excel table data. This is done with the use of Power Automate flow actions that Create a file in SharePoint, then get tables, list rows present in table, and finally in an apply to each use Create item in SharePoint. Not terrible hard but has a few gotchas because of dates and because you want the files from XLSX to be dynamic.
