How to create folders and subfolders in SharePoint based on Excel columns

Anonymous

I have 3 columns of data which each represent a folder layer (i.e. Column A = main folder, Column B = the sub folders in the main folder, and Column C = the sub folders of the Column B subfolders). I would like to have these folders created in my new Sharepoint site from the Excel file I already have. Is this possible? Screenshot of Excel columns below

    Dear Annabelle Bitterman,

    Good day!!

    I understand your concern and to my knowledge, I am sorry to convey that there is no out of the box feature or setting in the SharePoint Online to create a folders and sub-folders from the Excel file.

    I agree with you on having the ability to create folders and sub folders in the SharePoint Online from an Excel file will benefit the users and I suggest you to add your valuable idea as feedback in the SharePoint · Community (microsoft.com) which is the best place to share our ideas and improve the Microsoft products.

    Moreover, I believe you can achieve your requirement can be achieved with the help of the custom Power Automate flow and I would like to suggest you give a shot by posting your concern in the Microsoft Power Automate Community - Power Platform Community to get the detailed help from the Power Automate experts on the possibility of your requirement.

    Appreciate your patience and understanding. Have a great day!!

    Best Regards,

    Sophia
