Really??? There's no option to import data into a SharePoint list from a CSV or XLSX file?

I simply can't believe it....

It seems so obvious that this feature should exist and that people will use it. I really don't understand why that option would not be available. It seems so basic...

Instead I'm going to have to use an API to insert a bunch of records.

Learn from Salesforce and make things easy for the user. Microsoft could absolutely be dominating the CRM market by far but is little things like this and hold you behind.
